Directions
Put the tapioca and water in a medium mixing, cover with a piece of plastic wrap, and refrigerate for overnight.
Drain the tapioca in a colander.
Add the tapioca, milk, vanilla beans with the pods and salt into a large sauce pan.
Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to very very low.
Cook for two hours, stirring occasionally.
Add the egg yolk, butter and sugar into a small bowl, and whisk until smooth.
Slowly stir in about 1 cup of tapioca into the egg mixture.
Return this into the remaining tapioca in the saucepan.
Cook for another 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Transfer the pudding to 4 individual ramekin dessert dishes or a big serving bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap.
Let cool in a ice bath for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Keep the pudding refrigerated until chilled, at least 3 hours or overnight.
