This is a good Tapioca pudding recipe. But it doesn't need baking. Simply prepare it on your stove-top as indicated in the recipe, allow it to cool for perhaps 10-15 minutes then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for an hour or more. Delicious! Great with whipped cream or CoolWhip on top.(want it creamier? fold in 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream just prior to refrigerating it)

This is a wonderful recipe if you follow the directions and ingredients!!! It belonged to a grandmother, that means when it was written they didn't have "instant" anything. Use whole, non-instant ingredients. That means LARGE WHOLE eggs, WHOLE Milk, NON-INSTANT Pearl Tapioca and NON-INSTANT Rice. Yes, it will take longer. For a rich, delicious dessert, use quality ingredients.

My husband and I like Tapioca Pudding. As I read the ingredients on this recipe, I thought it sounded so good! I then read the reviews and was really confused, but I made this recipe anyway. Since I did not have any pearl tapioca on hand, I used minute tapioca and let the ingredients set the required five minutes before starting to cook; I also used 1 cup uncooked minute rice which I added before baking. I omitted the raisins as my husband does not like them. As another reviewer mentions, it did look curdled when I took it out of the oven; that disappeared as it cooled. After this cooled overnight and the flavors blended, it was very good! When I make this again, I think that I will omit the baking and just boil it per the instructions on the minute tapioca, adding the uncooked rice and vanilla after it has boiled.

First try didn't thicken so well , so I changed the recipe some , I used 1 1/2 cups of quick tapioca instead of the rice and added the eggs and vanilla after the tapioca thickened on top of the stove , then added the raisins , WORKED GREAT and didn't bake in oven ! ! ! ! the first try I don't think the tapioca was cooked long enough (my fault)the longer you cook the tapioca the thicker it gets the whole family loved it ! ! ! !

There must be a "secret" missing from this recipe. Mine came out watery and curdled. I pretty much followed the recipe as written. Maybe 15 minutes on top of the stove is too much? Mine looked very thick and almost completely cooked by 12 minutes, and I did NOT let it boil. I then put it in the pan, baked it 20 mins, stirred in the raisins (I had forgotten them) and vanilla, etc., as written, but it came out terrible.
