Dairy Delight
When winter finally gives way to warmer weather in Wisconsin, the frozen custard stands that crisscross the state come alive once again, with aficionados lining up for the creamy treat well into the autumn months. After all, New York may lay claim to being the first city where frozen custard was sold commercially in the United States, back in 1919, but the treat really took root in the Midwest after being served at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933. Nowadays, Milwaukee alone reportedly has the highest concentration of frozen custard shops in the world. Despite its similarity to ice cream, frozen custard is richer and creamier (by law, it must contain 10 percent milkfat and 1.4 percent egg yolk solids). For those who crave the silky treat but can’t make the sojourn to America’s Dairyland, these Food Network-approved spots across the country are slinging classic takes on the recipe.
