Decadent Tapioca Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons minute tapioca
2 3/4 cups milk
1 egg, well beaten
tiny pinch salt
2 teaspoons vanilla, added later

Preparation

Mix sugar, tapioca, milk, egg and salt in large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. (Use a bowl where your ingredients only come up half way so there's room to boil without boiling over.).
Cook at full power, stirring every 2-3 minutes until mixture comes to a full boil. Should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
Stir in vanilla and cool. Pudding thickens as it cools.
If desired, place plastic wrap on surface of pudding as it cools.
NOTE: you can make this on the stovetop if you prefer.
