Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed
saucepan on medium heat and cook until foaming subsides. Add sugar and
stir to coat with butter, increasing heat to high. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until sugar mixture begins to darken and butter smells
slightly nutty, about 2 minutes. Quickly whisk in cream, taking care to
watch for steam. Whisk until sugar is fully incorporated into cream and
remove from heat.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk
together milk and egg yolks until well combined. Ladle in hot cream
mixture about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly, until the side of
the bowl is warm to the touch, two or three times. Pour contents of
mixing bowl back into saucepan, whisking constantly until egg mixture is
fully incorporated.
-
Cook mixture on medium heat,
whisking frequently, until a custard forms on the back of a spoon but a
swiped finger leaves a clean line. Remove from heat and strain into an
airtight container.
-
Stir in whiskey, then salt to
taste in quarter teaspoon increments. The level of saltiness is up to
you, but the hot custard should taste slightly saltier than the desired
finished ice cream. Cover container and chill overnight, or at least 6
hours.
-
The next day, churn ice cream according to manufacturer's
instructions. Transfer churned ice cream to airtight container and chill in freezer for at least 4 hours before serving.
