This is a time consuming recipe but absolutely my favorite. I have had it written on a page that is really beginning to fade. I am sure I have had it for about 20 years or more. I don't make this often, because I am the only one that eats it....wait a minute...maybe I should make it more often...silly me ..Cooking time does not include soaking time. Ingredients:
1 cup pearl tapioca (not instant) |
4 cups whole milk |
5 eggs (separated) |
3/4 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Soak tapioca in 1 cup of the milk overnight in fridge.
2. Add remaining milk and cook, stirring occasionally, in top of double boiler about 3 hours over medium low heat. Take off of heat.
3. Beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla together and add to tapioca and blend.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff.
5. Line a greased baking dish 9 x 9 with a layer of tapioca, egg white and repeat layer of tapioca and egg white.
6. Bake in preheated oven of 325F for 15 minutes.
