Addy’s Ice Cream (came with the ice cream freezer)

Ingredients:

4 T. whipping cream
1 tsp sugar

Equipment and supplies:

measuring spoons and cups
spoons
2 cups ice cubes
plastic bag
towel
hammer
salt

Directions:

1. Wash the canister, lid and dasher in warm, soapy water. Rinse them thoroughly and allow them to dry completely.

2. Keep the whipping cream in the refrigerator until right before you need it. Measure the 4 tablespoons of whipping cream into a measuring cup and add the sugar. Stir the mixture until all the sugar dissolves.

3. Insert the dasher into the canister and pour in the whipping cream and sugar mixture. Cover the canister with the lid and place it in the wooden bucket. Put the canister and bucket in the freezer for 30 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, place 2 cups of ice cubes in a plastic bag. Wrap a towel around the bag and crush the ice by hitting it with a hammer. Keep crushing the ice until it is broken into very small pieces.

5. Remove the canister and bucket from the freezer. With a spoon, pack a 1/2-inch high layer of crushed ice around the canister. Sprinkle a layer of salt over the ice.

6. Alternate layers of ice and salt until they reach the top of the canister.

7. Attach the wooden crosspiece and crank of the ice cream freezer.

8. Tun the crank rapidly. Keep turning until it becomes difficult. to turn (about 10-15 minutes). Remove the canister from the bucket and wipe the salt ice from it.

9. Open the canister, remove the dasher, and spoon the contents into a dish.  Your ice cream is ready to eat. It’ll be softer than store-bought ice cream — but delicious.

Makes about 4 tablespoons of ice cream

LOL! It’s a lot of work for 4 tablespoons of ice cream, but we did it once and it was good!

We also have the cast iron spider, for making Sweet Potato Pudding.  I recall that was delicious, too!  LOL!

Addy’s Spider:

You can make a pudding for Addy, too. First season the her spider according to the directions on the back of this card. Mix up the modern recipe for sweet potato pudding. At step seven, put some of the mixture into the greased spider, too. Put the spider on a cookie sheet in the top rack of the oven. Bake Addy’s little pudding at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until set.  Be careful when you take the spider out of the oven. It will be very hot.

Seasoning the Spider:

Ask an adult to help you season the spider before you use it the first time. Seasoning helps prevent rust.

Here’s what to do:

1. Use mild soapy water to wash the spider. Rinse and dry.

2. Put the spider on a cookie sheet in a 300-degree oven until the pan is warm, about 5 minutes.

3. Remove the spider from the oven. Spread solid vegetable shortening over every part of the pan, inside and outside, with a paper towel.

4. Put the spider back in the oven for 45 minutes.

5. Remove the spider from the oven. Be careful because it will be very hot. Let it cool for a few mintues and then, whilte it’s still warm, wipe off the shortening with a paper towel.
