->Tapioca 01 <-

2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca

2 2/3 cups milk, scalded

1/2 cup sugar

3 egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 egg whites

1/4 teaspoon salt

In the top pan of a double boiler stir the tapioca into the hot

milk and cook it over simmering water 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

In a heatproof mixing bowl stir 1/4 cup of the sugar into the egg

yolks and very slowly blend in the hot tapioca and milk. Return

the mixture to the pan over the hot water and continue cooking

until it has thickened. Remove the pan from over the water and stir

in the vanilla. Cool the mixture slightly and fold in the egg

whites, beaten until stiff with the salt and remaining sugar. Pour

the pudding into 6 serving dishes and cool and chill it.
