Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 cup large pearl tapioca (not instant or quick-cook varieties)
4 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cup sugar, divided
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Directions:
Place tapioca pearls in a bowl and fill with water. Swish the pearls around, drain, refill the bowl with water and allow the pearls to sit 8 hours or overnight. Drain the tapioca after the soak and set aside.
In a large saucepan mix milk, salt, and 3/4 cup sugar. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Add the drained tapioca when the milk starts to bubble around the edges of the pan. Simmer 25 minutes or until tapioca pearls are mostly clear, stirring frequently to avoid sticking and scorching.
In a small bowl, beat eggs with remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Temper the eggs by slowly adding and stirring some (about half) of the hot mixture into them. Add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir well. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir constantly for 2 minutes or until mixture is thick. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Transfer to a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap allowing it to rest directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a “skin” from forming on the top.

Takes some time, stirring so it doesn't stick and scorch.
