Pastéis de Nata
Pastéis de Nata is a delicious Portuguese custard pastry with a flaky crust and a rich, creamy filling. It's a popular dessert that has a caramelized top and is often sprinkled with cinnamon or powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon for garnish
- powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 12 equal squares. Line each muffin cup with a pastry square, pressing the dough up the sides.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk until it's warm but not boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a custard-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and let the custard cool slightly.
- Pour the custard into the pastry-lined muffin cups, filling them almost to the top.
- Bake the Pastéis de Nata in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the custard is set.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin.
- Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy!
