These delicious little custard tarts, known as Pastéis de Nata, are one of Portugal’s most indulgent symbols. Born in the 18th century at the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém, they are irresistible thanks to their crisp puff pastry and creamy custard filling flavored with vanilla and lemon. Baked at a high temperature to achieve a lightly caramelized surface, they are best enjoyed warm, dusted with cinnamon or powdered sugar.
