Suggest a better descriptionIf you're using a vanilla bean, split it in half and scrape out the seeds (reserve the bean itself for vanilla sugar...if you want). Combine the seeds with the half-and-half and 1/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring occasionally, until stem arises from the milk; remove from the heat. Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat 1/4 cup sugar with the egg yolks until light yellow and thick, 2-4 min. Beat 1/2 cup hot half-and-half into this, the gradually stir this mixture into the saucepan with the remaining half-and-half. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly, until the mixture reaches 175-180 degrees, or is slightly thickened; do not boil (there will be a thick coating on the back of a spoon, one that will hold the outline of your finger after you pass through it). Strain the custard into a glass or plastic bowl and stir in the cream. Taste and, if more sugar is needed, stir it in while the mixture is still hot. Add vanilla extract if you're using it. Chill to 40 degrees (you can hasten the process by settling the bowl in a large bowl filled with a mixture of ice and water; stir occasionally), then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve immediately or freeze; use within 2 days, "warming" in the refrigerator for about 30 min before serving.
*This is a good base
**If you do accidentally get mixture up to a boil and end up with some scrambled egg pieces, just strain them out.
