"From a collection of Amish recipes. DO NOT use instant (Minute) tapioca. Bob's Red Mill makes a small pearl tapioca. Needs to chill at least 3 hours. I have changed the amount of butter after reading Twissis' review and making it myself."

Original is 8 servings

Made as written for the What's on the Menu? Game @ FF&F because I was happily able to renew my fondness for tapioca recently when a friend from the US brought me a supply. I so loved the flavor of this pudding, but did have 2 issues. It was more liquid than expected, but maybe the Amish prefer it that way & it didn't stop me from devouring it w/enthusiasm. My main issue was the amt of butter & the fact I couldn't get it incorporated well enough to prevent an oily layer of it on top of the pudding that required skimming. This will be made again w/a reduction to 1/3 or 1/4 cup of butter. Thx for sharing the recipe for this tasty treat w/us.
