I have been introduced to Portuguese
food by my friends from Madeira. Pastéis de nata is like egg custard.
It is rather easy to make. You
will need:
500 ml of milk
150g sugar
2 spoons of Maizena (or plain flour)
5 eggs yolks
Vanilla essence
Zest of a lemon (1/4)
1 puff pastry
Mix the Maizena and sugar
together.
Boil the milk. Pour the milk
on the maizena/sugar mix. A the egg
yolks one by one, stir quickly. Add the zest and some vanilla essence.
Pour the mixture on the puff pastry
(you can make a big one or 12 small ones)
Cook for 20 minutes at 230
degrees.
Sprinkle some cinnamon powder when
they are cooked. They are best eaten cold.
