Tapioca Pudding

Recipe via CC - Desserts

Seriously  ~ Tapioca pudding is my very favorite!!  When I was little I used to beg my Mom to make "snakize" (I thought that was what it was called) I didn't know that I was saying "Snake Eyes" ~   it wasn't until I grew up that I learned the real name wasTapioca!!

This is very good ... I love the twist of making it with brown sugar!  Anything but ordinary!

1 egg yolk

2 cups milk

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup butter

3 TBSP tapioca

1/8 tsp salt

1 egg white

2 TBSP brown sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

Put egg yok into heavy saucepan.  Stir in a small amount of milk until smooth, the stir in rest of milk followed by the next 4 ingredients.

Heat and stir over medium heat until mixture conmes to a full rolling boil.  Remove from heat. It will seem too runny but will thicken on standing.

Beat egg white in medium bowl until soft peaks form. 

Add half of the brown sugar at a time continuing to beat until stifff. 

Add vanilla.

Pour hot tapioca-milk mixture slowly into beaten egg white folding as you pour.

Seve warm. Leftover may be eaten cold. Serves 6.

Regular minute tapioca:  Use granulated sugar instead of brown.  a few chopped nuts may be added.

Chocolate minute tapioca:  Add 3 TBSP chocolate drink powder to firs ingredients.
