Classic Tapioca Pudding
Ingredients
3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Stir together the milk, tapioca, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 5 minutes longer.
Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated.
Stir the egg mixture back into the tapioca until well mixed.
Bring the pudding to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer until the pudding becomes thick enough to evenly coat the back of a metal spoon.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. - The pudding may be served hot or poured into serving dishes and refrigerated several hours until cold.
