What each ingredient does
- Eggs
- Bind the tapioca and set into a custard-like texture when baked.
- Tapioca
- Thickens the pudding as it cooks, giving it a soft, chewy body.
The step that matters
Bake until set. Eggs firm up as they heat, so the pudding needs to bake until just set. Overbaking can make the eggs curdle and turn the texture grainy or rubbery.
