Tapioca Pudding Recipe

1. 1

   Place 1 cup of the milk and the tapioca pearls in a medium saucepan and stir to combine.

2. 2

   Let the pearls soak uncovered at room temperature for 1 hour.

3. 3

   Add the remaining 2 cups of milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla seeds, and salt and stir to combine.

4. 4

   Place the pan over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture just comes to a simmer, about 10 minutes (do not let the mixture boil).

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture thickens and the tapioca pearls are softened and translucent, about 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve warm (the pudding will thicken as it cools).

7. 7

   Place any leftovers in a bowl, press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to keep a skin from forming, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
