It's Franjazzy Again - Vanilla ice cream

Ingredients
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
300ml Milk
3 Large Egg yolks
85g Sugar
284ml Whipping Cream

METHOD
1.       Put the milk into a saucepan and add vanilla
2.       Bring the mixture almost to the boil, and then remove from the heat, cover and leave to stand for 20 minutes.
3.       In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until well mixed, then stir in the milk
4.       Cook over a gentle heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens slightly and just coats the back of the spoon. Do not allow the mixture to boil or it will curdle.
5.       As soon as the custard had thickened, transfer it to a clean bowl and leave to cool.
With a whisk, stir the whipping cream into the custard. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled
6.       Pour the mixture into the ice cream machine and freeze according to instructions
7.       Transfer to a suitable container and freeze until required
