Cakes and Pastries
Pastéis de nata is Portugal's iconic tart, made by lining small moulds with puff pastry, filling them with an egg yolk custard and baking at very high heat until the tops develop dark speckles. Keeping the custard from splitting while preserving the pastry's layers are two delicate processes to manage at once. Their small size means they pack easily into a lunchbox.
Step by Step
How to make it?
2
Prepare the custard
12 minMix the cornflour with the milk and heat in a pot, whisk in the egg yolks and caster sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, then stir in the butter.
3
Fill the tarts
3 minDivide the custard among the lined moulds, filling each two-thirds full.
4
Bake
15 minBake the tarts in the preheated oven at very high heat for 15 minutes until the tops develop dark speckles.
Reminder
Keep stirring the custard after removing it from the heat; left standing, it forms a skin on top and loses its smoothness. Allergens: contains gluten (pastry), milk and dairy (milk, butter) and egg.
Editor's Note Editörün Notu
Adding a cinnamon stick to the custard gives it the faintly spiced note typical of Lisbon bakeries.

Fırını 250 dereceye ayarladım ama ısınması 20 dakikadan çok daha uzun bir süre sürdü, tartları erken koyduğum için benekler hiç oluşmadı ve üstleri soluk kaldı.

Fırınlar arasında ısınma süresi belirgin şekilde değişebiliyor, termometreyle kontrol edip gerçekten 250 dereceye ulaştığından emin olmadan tartları koymamak en güvenlisi.

Kremayı ocaktan aldıktan sonra bir an karıştırmayı bıraktım, üstünde ince bir zar oluştu ve kalıplara dökerken hiç pürüzsüz kalmadı, sürekli karıştırmanın önemini şimdi çok iyi anlıyorum.
