I've moved Intrepidtrier's recipe here too as so many of us have made it.
1/2 cup tapioca
3 cups whole milk
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
What I do is heat the milk to nearly boiling and then add the tapioca and salt to the bowl and let it sit for about an hour stirring every so often to stop the tapioca sticking together. Then simmer for about 5 minutes on reverse speed, add the sugar and then keep cooking until the tapioca is soft, beat the eggs and add some of the tapioca to them and then put back into the bowl and cook for about another 2 - 4 minutes until the egg is cooked and the tapioca is thick.
