Pastéis de Nata (Portuguese Custard Tarts)

I've always wanted to eat a Pastel de Nata, and I always thought I would when visiting Portugal. But I haven't been there yet, and I reckon Os Lobos (The Wolves) winning their first ever World Cup game Sunday night is cause for celebration (especially as there was only a point in it; and Fiji also qualified for the quarter-finals!) It was a beaut game, I thought the Portuguese couldn't hold that level of intensity for 80 minutes and they did! They even scored that winning try when the Fijians were finally flying again and had taken back momentum. Talk about going out with a bang! It deserved some effort on my part, so I made puff pastry and baked these beautifully flaky, delightfully fragrant and creamy Pastéis de Nata! And do they go down a treat, indeed! Happy Tuesday!

Ingredients (makes 8):

a small lemon

a cinnamon stick

1/3 cup caster sugar

2/3 cups water

300 grams/10.5 ounces Rough Puff Pastry 

a little ice cold water

2 level tablespoons plain flour

1 cup semi-skimmed milk

1 teaspoon Homemade Vanilla Extract

2 large egg yolks

Cut three wide, thin strips of lemon zest, and add to a small saucepan, along with cinnamon stick and sugar. Stir in water, and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, boil rapidly for about 3 or 4 minutes, until syrup just thickens. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool and infuse. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll Rough Puff Pastry into a large rectangle, but thick enough.

Brush Puff Pastry rectangle lightly with ice water, and roll tightly, horizontally, to form a sort of "sausage". Wrap in cling film, and chill in the refrigerator.

Spoon flour in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in a little of the milk to combine well. Then, whisk in the rest of the milk.

Heat over a medium flame, whisking constantly until mixture thickens, like a smooth Béchamel sauce. Remove from the heat, and stir in Vanilla Extract.

Strain in cooled lemon and cinnamon syrup, gradually whisking it in until well-blended. Set aside, to cool.

Preheat oven to 240°C/465°F.

Generously butter 8 cups of a muffin tin. Set aside.

Remove Rough Puff Pastry "sausage" from the refrigerator, and cut into 2,5cm/1" chunks. Working with one round Pastry chunk at a time, flatten with your thumbs into a muffin cup, easing onto the edges of the cup with your fingers to form a cup. Repeat with remaining Pastry chunks. Return to the refrigerator, 10 minutes.

Once the lemon and cinnamon cream has cooled, whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time until well-blended.

Retrieve muffin tin from the refrigerator, and fill each Pastry case with about two heaped tablespoons of the lemon and cinnamon custard (about three-quarters, as they will puff up when cooking).

Place muffin tin in the middle of the hot oven, and bake, at 240°C/465°F, 15 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool, 10 minutes, before lifting the pastéis out of the tin.

Serve Pastéis de Nata warm, plain, or sprinkled with cinnamon like they do in Lisbon!

yall ever make a pastry that slaps conceptually but looks fucking awful?

#the context to this is i made a custard fruit tart to use up some almost-bad fruits i had on hand #so while the combination of sour cherries and oversweet overripe mango slaps #it looks like a brown sludge with reddish brown and orange lumps in it lol #food #lemme know if you'd like a pic it's setting in the fridge atm

Bought these pastries from Mei Kee Bakery (美記餅家) in Yishun Bus Interchange. The cinnamon-scented Apple Tart used to cost just S$1.50 but had since gone up to S$2 apiece, a whopping increase of S$0.50! Likewise for the caramelized Portuguese Egg Tart from S$1.50 to S$2 each. Do refresh the tarts in the oven if you are eating them the next day as the pastry shell will get soggy.

Coconut Lavender Tartlets Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Tart Shells:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1-2 tablespoons ice water

For the Coconut Custard:

1 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lavender extract (or a few fresh lavender buds, finely crushed)

For the Whipped Coconut Cream:

1 can (14 ounces) coconut cream, chilled overnight

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

Toasted coconut flakes

Lavender buds

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

Make the Tart Shells:

In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix.

Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.

Press the dough into tartlet molds and prick the bottom with a fork.

Chill for 30 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.

Prepare the Coconut Custard:

Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan.

Gradually whisk in coconut milk, ensuring no lumps form.

Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and lavender extracts. Allow to cool slightly before pouring into the cooled tart shells. Chill until set.

Make the Whipped Coconut Cream:

Scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the chilled can, leaving any liquid behind.

Whip the coconut cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Assemble the Tartlets:

Once the custard is set, spoon or pipe the whipped coconut cream onto each tartlet.

Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, lavender buds, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Serve:

Allow the tartlets to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.
