  • Learn how to make Portuguese Custard Tarts (Pasteis de Nata)! If there were a Hall of Fame for tarts, these would have an entire wing. They truly are a unique, and mind-blowingly delicious sweet treat. Plus, they were invented by hermit monks, which make them even cooler. Visit foodwishes.blogspot.com/2018/... for the ingredients, more information, and many, many more video recipes. I really hope you enjoy this Portuguese Custard Tart recipe!

    6:46 The reason to boil most of the milk separately is once you add the flour to the mixture, then you need to stir it while heating, or it will stick on the bottom of the pan, and may burn. That can take a while, and, say you are making four liters of milk, you can imagine how long you’ll be stirring. And you can’t just add the flour to the hot milk. So you mix the flour only to part of the cold milk, while the rest of that you can boil separately, saving your muscles, and your time.

    I love these! I'm Portuguese. It's customary to serve them with powdered cinnamon on the side to be sprinkled on top, instead of cooking the custard with a cinnamon stick (at least as far as I know, I guess maybe because not everyone likes cinnamon).
    These pastries pair well with coffee, or with anything, and by themselves they are divine to enjoy.
    It's a perfect treat, super delicious, just the right amount of sweet, with a good contrast between the crispy shell and the light & smooth custard.
    Some people like to eat the custard first with a spoon and then the shell, a bit naughty but it's really good and indulgent that way :D

So I rather think the lemon peel is probably thrown into it after turning off the fire, and it just sits there for a while to give a bit of flavour, then it's removed.

    little side note, as a portuguese girl that does this a lot, there's other way of doing the custard without the sugar syrup and instead of flour you can use corn starch, it'll give a slightly different texture

    Hello from Lisbon Portugal! Thank you for respecting my country's cuisine. Very precise recipe. I like them a little more"burned" on top, perhaps if your oven has a top grill just give them 3 or 4 minutes (?). As for the powdered sugar and cinnamon: only Belém Pasteís de Nata take that, but the custard cream in those is different, and it's a well kept secret! But it all depends on your taste. It's a simple pastry, my moto is keep it simple. Best wishes from Lisbon!
    PS- Very important Pasteís de nata are the only pastry allowed to Diabetes Type 2 , within reasonable amounts! And also the less fattening (very little grease and very little sugar serving).
    PPS - The recipes in Portuguese cookbooks indicate vanilla pod, instead of essence.

    Many years ago I would buy Portuguese Custard Tarts in Rosentenville, Johannesburg from a Portuguese bakery. They were one of my most favorite things. I moved away. Recently, I came across Food Wishes and custard tarts. I was so excited, I rushed to my husband Holger, and told him about these tarts. I told him they were like nectar from the gods.
    He said he would make some for me. I was thrilled as puff pastry needs to be made right. He made 4 batches at the same time. They turned out perfect. He rested the pastry overnight and left out the eggs (we are vegetarians). The smell and the texture was heaven sent. Thank you so much for this recipe, I never did know how they were made. What an absolute treat. At any party they will be first to go. Your explanation is easy to follow. Thank you so very much.

    Made the dough last night and the custard today. Put the dough cups in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to pouring the filling in. Baked them on 550 degrees for 14 minutes, waited for the trademark hot spots. Cooled for 10 minutes and then devoured them! I used Fairlife Fat Free milk instead of regular milk and vanilla paste instead of extract. The custard consistency was on point and the paste made them smell sooooo good. Better than extract I think. Would definitely make these again.

    I'm a fair to middling baker, but I've always been a little afraid of tackling laminated pastry (something about all the pounding of hard butter, never daring to let it get warm while you're working with it, etc). With this demonstration though, you've removed some of the fear factor. And I've always thought the tarts themselves looked heavenly! So I'm going to be trying this soon. Thanks, Chef!

    • @SpaghettiToaster
      @SpaghettiToaster 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think the technique for these is different from croissants etc. because you want the flaky pastry to be dense and not as airy. I believe this is why using warm butter works, when it wouldn't be acceptable to croissants.

    • @stacym735
      @stacym735 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@SpaghettiToaster The best I've been able to figure out, I think you've got it exactly right. And I don't think anything "puffy" or airy would work for these tarts. Now, for the record, I want to add that I took the plunge and made these tarts a few nights ago. I followed the recipe and method as close to exactly as I could. And granted, the process was fussy and fiddly and messy... but they were SO DELICIOUS (and so incredibly worth the mess), I could hardly believe they came out of my own oven!

    This is an amazing dessert and yours look as portuguese as they can get! Kudos!

You should really check the Pastel de Santa Clara, which is amazingly delicious as it is beautiful.

    The monks, in their capacity as missionaries, popularized this dessert in China - you can find delicious "custard tarts" in any Chinese pastry shop (in your local Chinatown).

    • @hissibling933
      @hissibling933 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Portuguese egg tarts are richer than Chinese custard tarts. The oriental version does not use cream and the pastry is generally made with lard. However, both are delish but given the choice, I always pick the Portuguese version.

    • @purplealice
      @purplealice 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've always been fond of the Chinese tarts. But the first time I saw the Portuguese version, I realized that the missionary monks must have brought their recipes with them to Asia (look up the origin of Japanese panko bread crumbs). I make pastry with lard myself, for various uses, so I don't have a problem with that. But, yes, the Chinese version uses water instead of milk (although I've also seen them made with coconut milk).

      Ever wondered why bread in Japanese is "Pan" and in Chinese is "Pao"? By Treaty Of Tordesillas, the world was split into Spanish and Portuguese. The Spanish Missioners were in Japan first, so the Portuguese Missioners went to China and left their imprints there too. By the way, the Germans came to Asia Later and taught the people how to brew beer. Asahi, Tsingtao etc. For taste I agree with His Sibling.
