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 (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to your mixture. Mix until everything comes together into a smooth dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. While your dough chills, soak the tapioca pearls in water for about 30 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soaked tapioca pearls and milk. Stir frequently until the pearls become translucent and the mixture thickens (about 15 minutes).
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Slowly temper your egg mixture by adding small amounts of hot tapioca milk while whisking constantly. Once combined, return everything back to the saucepan on low heat and stir until thickened again.
  7. Roll out your chilled dough and press it evenly into a greased baking dish. Pour in the tapioca custard over your crust.
  8. Brush the edges of your crust with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in your preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-55 minutes until set and golden brown.
