Fluffy Tapioca Pudding
Instructions
-
Mix tapioca, salt, 3 tbsp. sugar, milk and egg yolk in heavy saucepan (or use double boiler). Let stand for 5 minutes.
-
Beat egg white until foamy; gradually beat in 2 tbsp. sugar, beating to soft peaks. Set aside. Cook tapioca mixture over medium heat to a full boil, stirring constantly.
-
Remove from heat as soon as mixture reaches full boiling point. Gradually add to beaten white, stirring quickly just until blended. Stir in vanilla.
-
Cool 20 minutes to thicken. Stir. Serve warm or chilled with freshly whipped, lightly sweetened cream. (I always triple or quadruple the recipe.)
