BAKED TAPIOCA PUDDING WITH CINNAMON SUGAR BRûLéE
This pudding offers you both the satisfying crack of using your spoon to break through a brûlée topping and the sensation of dipping that spoon into fluffy pudding. Tapioca generally isn't baked, but it is easier than cooking it on top of the stove. And once the pudding is in the oven you can leave it alone, as opposed to the stovetop method, which requires frequent stirring to prevent scorching. The use of pearl tapioca makes for a springy texture, and cinnamon in the topping adds a bit of spice.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 300 degrees
- In a medium saucepan, bring the milk, cream and cinnamon stick to a simmer. Whisk in the tapioca. Simmer until the pearls are completely tender, about 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt. Whisking constantly, pour in a third of the tapioca mixture. Whisk yolk mixture into the pot of tapioca; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer pudding to a buttered 1.5-quart gratin dish. Sprinkle the top with Demerara sugar and cinnamon. Bake, uncovered, until the pudding is firm around the edges and jiggly in the center, about 30 minutes. Put under the broiler until top is bubbling and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. (Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.) Eat warm, or chill and serve cold, removing the cinnamon stick while serving.
