Why is is so dark? Shouldn't it be bright yellow with little spots of brown. If you guys want to try the best Portuguese egg tarts, don't go to Portugal, you must go to the former-portuguese colony of Macau for the best egg tarts!
I have just made these, and I am feeling very pleased with myself! They are pretty much perfect, exactly as I remember the ones I ate in Lisbon.
I had to guess a bit with the recipe though - you don't mention when to add the sugar and flour/cornflour to the custard mix! I just heated them with the milk.
Also, the custard ended up being about double the amount I needed! I've just made some larger tarts to use it up.
@ScottyMcGeester She folded the dough twice, not enough IMO – most people buy this dough ready mad, it comes folded as many times as the steel of a samurai sword. Well, maybe not as many times ;). As for the hardness of the crust, possibly you pressed too hard when you were shaping it into the little cake pans. The point of folding the uncooked dough is to make the crust bake into several, very thin sheets of paper, so if you press too hard you’ll just be kneading it back into itself.
Yum - my favourite pasteis de nata are from a bakery where I used to live in Amora - better than the ones from Belém. I've made them here at home in London using ready made 'all butter' flakey pastry but nothing compares to the ones I had in Portugal.
Thank you for posting this. It is not mentioned exactly how much water to use when making the puff pastry, I'm guessing it's about a half cup. Also, it is not mentioned exactly when to add the sugar and flour/corn mixture. I would guess the sugar goes in when heating the milk, let it cool, then add the eggs, then the flour/corn mix. Is that right?
as a first time of making this i found it hard to follow; please be specific in every detail next time. you only used the 2 sections of butter ?

My crusts came out too hard. . the middle was perfect but the crusts were pretty hard. I'm trying to figure out why.

I don't understand 2:42 onward. What did she say? Wrap it in what? And then you put it in the fridge and then roll it out again? Is that it?
