This is a recipe I found in my grandmother's secret book it is so good I have to share it with the world - it might make it a better place! Serve with whipped cream.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
- 5 cups milk
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
PREPARATION:
Soak the tapioca pearls in milk overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the tapioca, milk, and rice in a large pan over medium heat. Stir in the eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 15 minutes. Do not bring to a boil. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and stir in raisins. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, but stir in the vanilla after 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
