3 tablespoons (uncooked)
milk
2 3/4 cups (whole or 2% for creaminess)
egg
1 (well beaten)
salt

Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, minute tapioca, milk, beaten egg, and a tiny pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix the ingredients well.
2
Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes. Ensure you use a bowl that is large enough to contain the bubbling mixture as it cooks.
3
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power.
4
Every 2 to 3 minutes, remove the bowl and stir the mixture to prevent it from boiling over. Repeat this process until the pudding reaches a full boil, which should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
5
Once it boils, carefully remove it from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature; it will thicken as it cools.
6
To avoid a skin from forming, you can place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding as it cools.

Serve warm or chilled, as preferred. Enjoy your delightful dessert!
