What is a Pastel de Nata?

A Pastel de Nata is a delicious and iconic Portuguese pastry, also known as a Portuguese custard tart. It is a small, flaky pastry filled with a rich and creamy custard, traditionally made with eggs, sugar, cream, and sometimes flavored with hints of vanilla or cinnamon.

The history of Pastel de Nata dates back to the 18th century when Portuguese Catholic monks used egg whites to starch their clothes, leaving them with an excess of egg yolks. Seeking ways to avoid wasting the yolks, they created this delectable treat using the abundant egg yolks and other simple ingredients.

Today’s Portuguese Custard Treat

Today, Pastel de Nata is a beloved delicacy in Portugal and has gained popularity worldwide. It is often enjoyed as a sweet treat with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a delightful snack or dessert option. When served fresh from the oven, the pastry is warm and crispy, while the custard inside is creamy and subtly sweet, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures that leave a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to savor it.

Whether enjoyed at a traditional Portuguese bakery or homemade in the kitchen, Pastel de Nata has become a symbol of Portugal’s culinary excellence and a must-try delicacy for food enthusiasts and travelers alike.
