Ingredients (Serves 4)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Directions<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine tapioca pearls and milk in a medium saucepan. Let sit 20\u201330 minutes to soften.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heat over medium-low. Stir in sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture steams and pearls turn translucent (10\u201315 minutes). Keep heat gentle to prevent scorching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a small bowl, beat the egg. Slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of the hot tapioca mixture to warm it gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Return the tempered egg to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook 3\u20135 more minutes until slightly thickened and the pearls are mostly translucent. It should coat the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove from heat. Let sit 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warm: Enjoy immediately for a custardy texture.
