SIMPLE TAPIOCA PUDDING
This is from my Nana's recipe box, her recipe for tapioca pudding. I have no idea where she originally found the recipe, but it's simple and tastes great. If you have an Asian grocery store near you, try finding the multicoloured pearls, they add a bit of fun colour to a traditional pudding. Great served either warm or chilled, with cooking time of around 30-40 minutes. Complete comfort food item!

Steps:
- I recommend soaking the tapioca pearls in 2 cups of water the night before as it reduces some of the excess starch and means less cooking time.
- In a 1-1/2 quart saucepan, combine the tapioca pearls, the milk, and salt. Stir frequently on medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to minimum and simmer 5 minutes. Add the sugar in gradually, stirring constantly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs. A little at a time, add some of the tapioca mixture to the eggs and continue stirring. This is "tempering" the eggs and will bring them up to temperature gently, preventing the eggs from scrambling.
- Add the tempered egg mixture to the tapioca. Gently bring the mixture back up to near-boiling. Reduce heat to minimum and simmer, stirring constantly, until desired consistency is reached. Pearls should be translucent and gelatinous.
- Allow tapioca to cool 15 minutes before adding the vanilla. Serve warm or chill until serving time.

Tips:
- Use the right tapioca pearls: For classic tapioca pudding, use small tapioca pearls, also known as pearl tapioca. Quick-cooking tapioca pearls can also be used, but they will cook faster and may result in a softer texture.
- Cook the tapioca pearls correctly: Follow the package instructions for cooking the tapioca pearls. Generally, they should be soaked in water for 30 minutes to an hour, then cooked in boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until they are translucent and soft.
- Use whole milk for a richer flavor: Whole milk will give the tapioca pudding a richer, creamier flavor than skim or low-fat milk.
- Sweeten the pudding to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the pudding will depend on your personal preference. Start with 1/2 cup of sugar and add more to taste.
- Flavor the pudding with vanilla or other extracts: Vanilla extract is a classic flavoring for tapioca pudding, but you can also use other extracts, such as almond, coconut, or rum.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold: Tapioca pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it cold, let it cool completely in the refrigerator before serving.
Conclusion:
Tapioca pudding is a simple and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dessert that can be flavored with a variety of extracts and served warm or cold. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect tapioca pudding every time.
