PORTUGUESE CUSTARD TARTS (PASTEIS DE NATA)
This slightly streamlined recipe for the world-famous pasteis de nata, or Portuguese custard tarts, uses just few basic ingredients but requires numerous steps and a certain amount of finesse. The results are so worth it, though, you'll want to make a double batch. The extra moisture inside the sticky dough, activated by a very hot oven, creates the signature flaky, buttery, crispy crust, which encases a custard subtly scented with lemon, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Steps:
- Combine flour, salt, and cold water in a bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Dough should be sticky; adjust with more flour or water to achieve what's shown in the video.
- Transfer dough onto a well floured surface. Dust a little more flour over the top. Knead for a minute or two to form a round. Cover and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Roll dough into a square about 1/8 inch thick, dusting with flour as necessary; dough should still be sticky.
- Spread 1/3 of the butter over 2/3 of the square using a silicone spatula, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Flip the unbuttered side over the middle of the square and fold the opposite end over it like a letter. Straighten the edges as needed.
- Turn dough with a bench scraper to unstick it from the counter; dust with flour. Flip and sprinkle more flour on top. Roll dough into a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle, carefully stretching edges as needed. Spread another 1/3 of the butter over 2/3 of the dough. Fold into thirds. Transfer onto a lined baking sheet and freeze until butter is slightly chilled, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle dough with flour and roll into a square a little over 1/8 inch thick. Spread remaining butter over the dough, leaving a 1- to 1 1/2-inch border on the top edge. Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the unbuttered edge. Roll dough into a log starting from the bottom edge. Dust with more flour and polish the ends as needed. Seal with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Combine sugar, 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, cinnamon, and lemon zest in a pot. Boil over medium heat, without stirring, until syrup reaches 210 to 215 degrees F (100 degrees C). Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven 550 degrees F (288 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Whisk flour, salt, and cold milk together very thoroughly in a cold pot. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until milk thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Whisk egg yolks into the cooled milk. Add the sugar syrup and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Strain custard into a glass measuring cup.
- Unwrap the dough and trim any uneven bits on the ends. Score log into 12 even pieces using a knife; cut through.
- Place a piece of dough in each muffin cup. Dip your thumb lightly in some cold water. Press thumb into the center of the swirl; push dough against the bottom and up the sides of the cup until it reaches least 1/8 inch past the top. Fill each cup 3/4 of the way with custard.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is browned and bubbly, and the tops start to blister and caramelize, about 12 minutes. Cool tarts briefly and serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Place the pie crust mix into a bowl, and lightly rub the butter and water into the mix until the mixture holds together well enough to form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead several times to make the dough more elastic. Form into a ball again, and cut the ball in half; cut each half into half again (4 pieces); cut each quarter into thirds to make 12 total pieces. Roll the pieces into balls, and set aside.
- Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, cream, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until light and foamy, about 3 minutes; strain the filling through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
- Press a dough ball into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a prepared muffin cup; repeat for remaining dough pieces. Spoon each crust about 80 percent full of the egg yolk mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown, the filling is set, and the tarts are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

25 POPULAR PORTUGUESE DESSERTS - INSANELY GOOD RECIPES
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
4.8/5 (4)Published 2021-04-09Category Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Pastéis de Nata (Portuguese Custard Tarts) Probably one of the most well-known Portuguese desserts, these custard tarts are petite, sweet, and super creamy.
- Serradura Dessert (Sawdust Pudding) Don’t let the name fool you; this simple little dish is definitely worth a try. It gets its name from the use of crushed cookies, which resemble sawdust when layered in the dish.
- Pao De Lo (Portuguese Sponge Cake) Pao de lo is almost like an angel cake in that it is lightened up using whipped eggs. Needing just six ingredients – eggs, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and lemon zest – this no-fuss cake is great for any occasion.
- Chocolate Salami. Don’t worry; there’s no meat in this. It gets the name from how it looks – like a slice of salami! These no-bake cookies are so easy to throw together and are super simple to modify.
- Azorean Biscoitos (Portuguese Biscuits Recipe) These lightly zested cookies are a staple in most Portuguese homes. They’re light and tender and almost like a shortbread.
- Portuguese Carrot Cake Recipe. I’ve heard some people complain about carrot cake being too busy with all the nuts and carrots and raisins. I don’t get it, but I can see how some people may prefer something more straightforward.
- Bolo Nega Maluca (Brazilian Chocolate Cake) If you make this cake using the ingredients listed, you’ll notice it’s much sweeter than your average chocolate cake.
- Arroz Doce (Portuguese Rice Pudding) I’ve eaten rice pudding for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It can be warm, cold, with coconut milk, cinnamon, fruit, or even chocolate.
- Honey Cake. One big thing I noticed when I was traveling is that many European countries make and use honey in a lot of their baking. I’m talking about natural, homegrown honey – not the processed stuff you find in the store.
- Bolo Rei (Portuguese Kings Cake) In many European countries, the biggest holiday celebration is King’s Day, January 6th. Though they will celebrate Christmas Eve, you’ll find all kinds of festivals popping up in the first week of January.
