TAPIOCA PUDDING

½ cup minute tapioca
1 ¼ cups white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 eggs, well beaten - equals about ½ cup
1 cup cold milk
8 cups hot milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

In a glass bowl, combine tapioca, sugar, salt, eggs and 1 cup cold milk. Beat mixture until eggs are well blended. In a large saucepan, heat 8 cups milk over medium high until milk is steaming hot but not quite boiling. Drizzle cold milk mixture into hot milk stirring constantly until mixture is steaming hot but not quite boiling.

Reduce heat and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly - about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and remove pan from burner. Allow to cool l5 to 20 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Chill before serving.
