How to cook deliciously - Tapioca Pudding

1 . Stage

Cook the tapioca: Combine tapioca, milk, and salt in 1 1/2 quart pan on medium-high heat. Stir while bringing to a bare simmer. Lower the heat and cook, uncovered, at the lowest possible heat, adding sugar gradually until the tapioca pearls have plumped up and thickened. Depending on the type or brand of tapioca you are using (and if you've pre-soaked the tapioca as some brands call for), this could take anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes of cooking at a very low temperature. Stir occasionally so the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

2 . Stage

Temper the eggs with a little hot tapioca: Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Whisk in some of the hot tapioca very slowly to equalize the temperature of the two to avoid curdling.

3 . Stage

Add the tempered eggs to the pudding, cool, then add the vanilla: Slowly add the eggs to the tapioca in the pan. Increase the heat to medium and stir for several minutes until you get a thick pudding consistency. Do not let the mixture boil or the tapioca egg custard will curdle. Cool 15 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Serve either warm or chilled. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
