Pastéis de Nata

RECIPE

(Makes 12 tarts)

INGREDIENTS A (the tarts):

puff pastry
(i bought it...i'll try make it next time by myself.)

INGREDIENTS B (the egg FILLING):

4 egg yolks
1/3 cup of sugar (or slightly less if you don’t like your Portuguese egg tarts too sweet)
1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup of milk
3 drops of vanilla extract

METHOD:

Use an electronic hand beater to blend Ingredients B. Beat for about 3 minutes and strain the filling through a strainer. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter the muffin pan.

Flatten the puff pastry into small rounds and fit them well into the muffin pan by pressing firmly on bottom and side (do not over stretch). Fill the dough with the egg mixture (about 80% full).

Bake the Portuguese Egg Tarts at 400F for about 15-20 minutes or until the filling turn brown.

If you still left some egg filling, don't waste it!! Just make it into the egg pudding.
