Tapioca

Step 1: Separate egg completely as any white in the cooked part results in lumps.

Step 2: Beat egg white until foamy.

Step 3: Gradually beat in half the sugar and continue beating until mixture forms soft, rounded peaks.

Step 4: Mix tapioca, remaining sugar, milk and egg yolk in a saucepan.

Step 5: Let stand 5 minutes.

Step 6: Cook and stir tapioca mixture over medium heat until mixture reaches a full boil. (Pudding thickens more as it cools.)

Step 7: Gradually ad this to the egg-white mixture, stirring quickly, just until blended.

Step 8: Stir in vanilla.

Step 9: Cool 20 minutes and then stir.
