I have the original newspaper clipping of this recipe, and everyone in my family has been making this ice cream since it was first published in 1958. The recipe was submitted by Mrs. F. A. Talley, and is always referred to (at least in our family) as Talley's ice cream. There were variations listed in the original recipe for chocolate, fresh peach, strawberry, banana, coffee, and red raspberry or blueberry -- they are all delicious, but vanilla is the best!

We have been on an homemade ice cream kick the last few weeks and I found and made this recipe 3 times in this short time!! As usual I have altered this recipe. I was looking for a cooked base for my ice cream and really like this one - however I do not want my ice cream as rich so I have been adding only using 1 pint to a quart of half and half to cooked base and then finish to the fill line with either whole milk or 2% milk. I tend to rush the cooking process and so I have gotten into the habit of pouring the cooked mixture through a strainer after it has cooled as I seem to have some egg pieces otherwise. We really like this ice cream recipe.
