Ingredients
25/32 cup tiny pearl tapioca (about ¾ cup or adjust slightly for texture)
3/4 cup white sugar: Sweetens the pudding to perfection.
4 cups whole or 2% milk: Whole milk gives it creamier results, but 2% also works well.
3 large eggs: Adds richness and helps thicken the pudding.
Pinch of salt: Enhances the flavors.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional): Adds warmth and depth to the flavor.
2. Heat the Milk and Tapioca
In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked tapioca, milk, and salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer. Do not let it boil, as the milk can scorch. This process usually takes 10–15 minutes.
