I wonder if you could use less eggs. I have tried some that taste awesome at a grocery store and at a local portuguese bakery they tatse like raw egg, yuck!

[Guamx2010]

I am proud to be 1/4 portugese 

[gentil79]

the title say pasteis de natta... wrong, it is NATA. also, nata is cream, not milk as John says...

[alpmaster]

What a retard "nata is milk, but we're adjusting a bit a using cream" lol NATA IS CREAM, milk is "leite"

[sunseaandparadise]

My God these are delicious :)

[AronHallan]

i always eat mine with a bit of cinnamon on top but not too much :)

[dubserfull]

[SuperAcab666]

@MoonLover456 I can tell you, there is so much good foreign food, I have to taste and try:-D

[MoonLover456]

The best Pastéis de Nata are found in Lisbon Belém, im portuguese and those are just perfect the best in the world

[Palmieres]

@narbodiople Olha que não... há pasteis de nata muitíssimo melhores do que os de Belém, que agora só sabem a pudim. e se não forem comidos logo parecem que têm 3 dias. Exemplos de pasteis bons sem peneiras são os do Scala (uma pastelaria perto das Portas de Benfica), que além dos pasteis de nata têm uma montra de bolos e biscoitos que até faz dores na alma, apesar de ser uma pastelariazita das mais normais. Os de Belém só têm é fama.

[MsLadybird83]

My God! How they use the puff pastry, that is so not the way to do it! And there is no corn flour in the original recipe either! Ai, ao que a gente chega!

[skilllol101]

ninguem consegue fazer como nós :D

[BestivalFan]

Is "John Torode" a massive cocaine head, he keep's sniffing.

He's rude and arrogant.

I wouldn't let him cook for me if I paid him, massive wanker

[Jadandlud]

@BestivalFan could be. Actually, these two were reluctant to work together. They're trying to compete with one another, but the Indian just let it slide for the sake of the show.

[suiseiseki2007]

so if my tarts just puff up but don't come back down, i have to add more eggs to it?

[isiahcamacho]

@MiguelCJM "Pastéis de Belém" were so popular that others tried to make them too. But seeing as they did not have the secret recipe and couldn't call them "Pasteis de Belém", ended up making imitations and they were then called "Pastéis de Nata".

[MiguelCJM]

@isiahcamacho

Yes, they ended up making imitations and winning the competition.

[isiahcamacho]

@MiguelCJM I wasn't trying to repeat what you had said. I was only agreeing with you about it being made in Lisbon and stating that I was taught it was nuns. The Porto bit was not for you. I should have made separate posts. Still getting use to posting on Youtube!hahaha :D

[isiahcamacho]

@MiguelCJM You are correct sir. But if memory serves me correctly, it is believed that it had been nuns from the "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos" (in Lisbon not Porto) that started making them. "Pastéis de Belém" is trade marked which means no one else can sell them under the same name. This is why it is called "Pasteis de nata" everywhere else. If you want "Pasteis de Belém" you can only get them in Lisbon! The recipe for "Pastéis de Belém is secret(Only 4 or 5 Chefs know it).

[MiguelCJM]

@isiahcamacho have you skiped the part I wrote I'm portuguese?

I know I am correct. You'd re-read my comments it would avoid you to echo my words. I never wrote Porto instead of Lisbon? I also wrote "monks in Belém" where else could it be in Belém, other than in the "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos"?

(If it were nuns the monastery would have been named "das Jerónimas").

The secret is a legend, nothing but cheap talk.

And in what I'm concerned, I prefer a good "pastel de nata" to a "pastel de Belém".

[MiguelCJM]

@isiahcamacho

"If you want "Pasteis de Belém" you can only get them in Lisbon"

It is an erroneous statement, "Pastéis de Belém" you can only

get them in the "Pastéis de Belém Factory" in Lisbon.

One single shop!

[isiahcamacho]

@MiguelCJM I know ... I guess I should have been more specific! Right next to the monastery correct? :D Well I was told there are about 4 or 5 chefs that know the recipe but there are probably more. All I know is, all chefs that work there, have to sign a contract and in this contract they agree not to give out the recipe. So according to them the recipe is secret.

[rosgw]

@MiguelCJM

You twit, he acknowledges that Port originated in Porto and that the process of 'using the excess yolk' is what he referred to.

@nandavale

If you truly watched this you would hear him say he altered the recipe to use cream.

Why are you all so picky?? Perhaps one could draw attention to your poor vocabulary, spelling and grammer!! But why bother. The guy has made a fortune as a chef and television personality....Have you???? I doubt it.

[MiguelCJM]

@rosgw I'd return your compliment just changing the"i" for an "a" but,

you seem too dumb to get it, so I'll put it easier for u...

Hey RollingOnShitGotWonderful A.H.

I don't care what he acknowledges at all...

He is not portuguese, I am! I know far better!

So I'll explain again but as "if" I was writing to a retarded...

"Pastéis de Belém" (aka as "Pastéis de Nata") recipe is from Lisbon.

It has nothing to do with Port - which isn't from Porto but from the upper

Douro river wine region.

[nandavale]

Im portuguese and the real " pastel de nata " dont have cream in the filling, this is not a true portuguese recipe.

[pdijkema]

Pity that they didn't give the exact recipe. But looks great!

[TheBunnylis]

Yeah; pasteis de NATA, not NATTA as it shows on the video,lol

Anyway; this method is nothing like what i read on portuguese recipe books! I'm portuguese and have tried making pasteis de NATA, a few times and still can't get it right,lol I recon when we're given the recipe for it they hide some secret ingrediente,ahahaa

[TheBunnylis]

Yeah; pasteis de NATA, not NATTA as it shows on the video,lol

Anyway; great tips!

[DeixaIssoPraLa]

pastel de nata, not natta

:/

[BethMiriam]

How is the guy suppose to be Masterchef judje if he don't have any idea how a Portuguese custard tart tast like!!!!!!

[XxXbOb23XxX]

wat are the measure ments?

[pinayvacavilleUSA]

i love u guys

[77alexz]

Good gracious, this isn't done right! You never cut pastry circles, you roll the dough and cut small cylinders and just spread it out carefully in each cup. No need to bake the dough first either. I'm actually surprised they manage to look so good in the end. The one's on the webpage (where the recipe is) is more like what you'll get... yuck. (read the comment there too). I seriously think they hit a portuguese pastry shop at the last minute and put them in the tray just for the video.

[xxxdids]

i don't want to admit that but you might be right there these look way to good.

[maidenheart1]

@77alexz I quite agree with you, especially the part about them hitting a portuguese pastry shop. lmao

[nacht98]

well i jsut love this cake...it´s like heaven and maybe one of the best keeped Portuguese secretes for the rest of the world!

[eccentricz8D]

YUM!

[l23722]

Man...is "Pastel de Nata" with only ONE t...greatings

[creasicle]

ha "we all enjoy a tart from time to time" that wasn't lost on me!

[zeragito]

nata IS cream not milk, milk is leite, so you didn't compromise, you got it right the 1st time:)

[adfkjgvdjfvbdbvdkjvb]

it's not a tart, it's a pastel de nata

[Rebel3Rice]

im portugese and i love those tarts..i could eat 50 of them.... ;]

[coolmjms16]

it isn´t natta its nata

[RTatUTube]

thanks

i've never used puff pastry b4 and was looking for instructions on how to put them into the muffin tray!

so thats how it'd done! =D

[77alexz]

@RTatUTube Trust me, I'm both portuguese and a pastry chef. This video is a hoax, a lie. Pastel de nata isn't done that way at all, in fact, I'm absolutely sure that the pastries they come up with at the end, were bought. If you are looking for a way to use puff pastry in a muffin tray, this is the worst possible place to start.

[Angeban321]

@77alexz So when you bake the pastries, do you put the pastry cups in a baking pan of water, like some egg tart recipes call for? or will it still turn out fine with out the water?

[77alexz]

@Angeban321 I'd say they will turn all right without the water. The pastries that are made professionally are cooked at very high temp, much higher than what a regular home oven can reach. The secret is really to have a well made filling (well tempered) and cook the pastries at max heat to have the filling cooking before it boils over. It takes quite a bit of practice to get a good egg tart. :-) At the original pastry shop, it only takes only 8 minutes to cook them! Hard to do at home...

[ntelechy]

this looks good! my boyfriend loves this so i'll try surprise him by making some this weekend, but i'll make the custard with vanilla pods, and sprinkle the tarts with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Yum!

[CoverdaleBlue]

Oh, and they're called "Pastéis de nata"!

[CoverdaleBlue]

To keep it traditional they should be eaten lukewarm, sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon.

[Rowedy1]

filho de puta

[lucypop861]

He is Scottish and his name is Hardeep.

Mom? Oh I see - you're American. I didn't realise; your inadequate sense of geography is obvious to me now. Likewise your bad grammar.

[lucypop861]

Yeah. Actually, it's a Scotsman and an Australian. But you were close. Ish...

[naifasanaconda]

Hmm.. It looks the same, but i don't know about the taste... It misses several light "tweeks", but i guess they vary from location to location. cinamon is optional. Actually, all my NATAs are eaten without cinamon while i drink coffee, not while drinking Porto.

PS: lisbon's secret recipe is so overrated. You can find excelent natas everywhere in Portugal.

[Juanah92]

Ahah, it's all wrong! Idiots...

[odiebabodie]

Looks good:))) You need a bit of vanilla extract and I think you've got old boy!

[paquitomoralles]

the pastel de nata isnt as simple as this..

those on the video should taste crappy ...

the real ones. the ones with the secret recipe are found in lisbon.period.

[carmen1974]

The pastel de nata was invented in the port of Belém in Lisbon not Porto as you say, and it was made up because of all the tourists, they invented it to atract the turists.

If you want it to be even better before you eat them put cinamon powder on top.

[Palmieres]

@carmen1974 Actually, no. The original recipe was bought from a monastery in the 19th century by the (now) most famous shop to sell these, the one in Belém. The tart can be bought in pretty much every single coffee shop in the country - and despite what they might say, you can certainly find much better ones than the ones in Belém (which are quite crappy nowadays). Not to mention the fact that many other national pastries are far superior to these tarts.

[gentil79]

@carmen1974 they haven't invented it to atract tourists... they have been made for more than 200 years!
