Tapioca Pudding

One of my mom’s favorite ways to use up milk that was starting to turn sour, was tapioca pudding. My younger sister, Ingrid, usually got the job of making or was self appointed. She would make a huge pot. It was amazing. Now I have to make my own, but Mom kindly supplied me with the recipe.

*Note: this recipe works best with fresh milk or milk that is just starting to sour. Don’t make it with very sour milk, it probably won’t taste good at all!*

Ingredients

Tapioca Pearls

Milk

3 Eggs

Sugar

Vanilla

Directions

1/2 cup Tapioca Pearls

Follow the package directions on how to prepare them. Some you can put right in and others you need to soak overnight.

4 cups milk

Mix in tapioca pearls and stir over medium heat until the pearls are clear (roughly 30 minutes). I get impatient so I tend to turn the heat up higher. You just don’t want to burn the milk.

3 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

Combine and stir into the milk and tapioca pearl mixture. Bring to a full boil. After it reaches a boil, remove from heat and add

3/4 tsp of vanilla

Cool and enjoy! Makes about 8 cups of pudding.
