We go to a place downtown Charleston where they make it onsite, also make waffles cones right there. Very, very good, and I’m choosy about ice cream, only eat vanilla, nothing with strong flavors to hide a lack of quality.
I make ice cream every few years, when there’s going to be enough kids around…hand-cranked, of course. Put the recipe on here several years ago, somebody said, “That’s not a recipe, that’s a science experiment.” Takes planning ahead, two day project, lots of eggs, heavy cream, tactics to ensure smooth, no ice crystals. Absolutely great. Worth all the fuss.
When my brother was in law school I went out to Buffalo NY to haul some stuff home for him. His roommate took us to a custard stand one night. Couldn’t believe the line…for a friggin ice cream cone??? When we got ours I understood. No doubt that stuff was made with eggs and heavy cream and sugar… Only thing I would ever go back to Buffalo NY for.
