Papa's Favorite Ice Cream

How about little ice cream to go with all the hot fudge? I couldn't post all those fudge recipes without a little ice cream to go with them!  This was my Grandma Bailey's recipe.  It was a favorite of my grandfather "Papa." That man LOVED ice cream.  I think my addiction to the cold, creamy stuff came from him. This is as old-fashioned as it gets... almost like a frozen custard, but better.  Pop and Gram used an old fashioned bucket-style ice cream freezer.  I used my Cuisinart 2 quart machine, and it worked great... I just had to half the recipe, using 5 egg yolks.
