Costs 10 or 12 cents or 1 cent each order.
1 heaping cup tapioca - 1/2 lb. 4 cups milk - a quart.
2 tablespoons sugar. Small lump of butter.
Take half the milk and put the tapioca in it to soak in a little pan set in a rather warm place for an hour or two. Boil the rest of the milk with the sugar and butter in it, put in the tapioca, stir up, pour into a buttered pan and bake half an hour. It is, of course, quite white. Serve with any pudding sauce. One egg or two yolks may be added if wished to have it richer. The eggs must not be boiled in the milk, but stirred in just before putting in the oven.
