Homemade Tapioca Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 cupful tapioca washed and simmered two hours in 3 pints of milk
  • 1 quart of cold milk
  • 3 yolks of eggs well-beaten
  • 1 cupful sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoonful butter
  • 2/3 cupful of raisins
  • 1 teaspoonful essence of lemon

Directions

Beat the whites, add 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar, spread over the top of the pudding, set in the oven to lightly brown.. Vanilla may be used instead of lemon extract. No sauce; 1/2 cupful cocoanut, desiccated, may be stirred in the pudding. Great improvement. Tapioca pudding may be baked in one crust like an apple pudding. This is a nice way, as it gives more substance to the dish.
