Tapioca Custard Pudding Recipe #29319
This old-fashioned tapioca pudding recipe is taken straight from "Foods, Nutrition and Home Management Manual", published in 1942 by the "Government of the Province of British Columbia". I've never made this type of tapioca, so the cooking time is a bit of a guess on my part. See note at end of recipe if you want to use quick-cooking tapioca.
