Pastel de Natas Tarts Recipe

Pastel de Natas Tarts are a traditional Portuguese pastry with a creamy custard filling baked in a flaky puff pastry crust. Ideal as a dessert or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
cinnamon powder, for dusting
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut it into 12 circles.
Fill a muffin tin halfway with pastry circles.
Whisk together sugar and flour in a medium saucepan.
Whisk in the milk and egg yolks until combined.
Cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 10-15 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Fill pastry shells 3/4 full with the mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling has set and the pastry has turned golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes in the muffin tin.
Remove the tarts from the muffin tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Before serving, sprinkle with cinnamon.
