Ingredients

Scale
  • 220g all-purpose flour
  • 25g milk powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 135g unsalted butter, softened
  • 135g granulated sugar
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g uncooked tapioca pearls (sago)
  • 350g milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 30g cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, milk powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract, then mix to form a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Soak tapioca pearls in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
  5. In a saucepan, combine soaked tapioca and milk over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently until the pearls become translucent and the mixture thickens (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Slowly temper the egg mixture by adding hot tapioca milk mixture while whisking constantly. Return this combined custard mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat.
  8. Roll out chilled dough and press it evenly into a greased baking dish. Pour the tapioca custard over the crust. Brush the edges of the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown.
