Ingredients

• 1/3 cup Small Pearl Tapioca
• ¾ cup Water
• 2 ¼ cups Milk
• ¼ tsp Sea Salt
• ½ cup Sugar divided
• 2 Eggs separated
• ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Tools

• Bob's Red Mill Tapioca Small Pearls
• Standard Whisk
• Ladle for serving
• All Clad Sauce Pan 3qt
• Spiral Whisk
• Misc, kitchen utensils

Soak the tapioca pearls in water for 1 hour in a 1 ½ quart saucepan. Do not drain remaining water, if any. (Do not try to use milk for this step just stick to water, it will not make them creamier). After an hour the pearls will have absorbed most of the water.

After the pearls soak, separate your egg yolk and your egg whites into two separate bowls. Lightly beaten the egg yolks and leave the egg whites aside for now.

In the sauce pan, add milk, salt, ¼ cup sugar and the lightly beaten egg yolks to the soaked tapioca pearls. Whisk everything together gently until combined.

Stir over medium heat until boiling. Simmer uncovered over very low heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir often. Make sure to stir consistently so it won't burn.

While the pearls are on the heat, beat egg whites with remaining ¼ cup sugar until soft peaks form. Don't leave the pearls unattended too long!

Fold about ¾ cup of hot tapioca into the egg whites, then gently fold mixture back into saucepan.

Stir over low heat for about 3 minutes. Cool 15 minutes then add vanilla.

Serve warm or chilled, plain or with fruits, nutmeg or coconut mixed in.

Enjoy your old fashioned tapioca pudding!
