Egg Custard Tart How to Recipe | Based on Short Sweet Pastry
Recipe Information
Portuguese Egg Tart
Cultural Context
Originating from the 18th century in Lisbon, the Portuguese Egg Tart, or Pastel de Nata, was inspired by the monks of the Jerónimos Monastery who used egg whites for starching clothes. These delightful tarts became a staple in Portuguese cuisine, celebrated for their flaky pastry and creamy custard filling. Today, they are enjoyed worldwide, with variations emerging in places like Macau and Brazil, where they have become beloved local treats.

Honey offers a natural sweetness.
Put 28 grams of caster sugar in a bowl with 14 grams of water and stir until dissolved.
Add 56 grams of margarine (or butter) and 56 grams of shortening (or lard) into 226 grams of flour and crumb together until fine.
Make a well in the crumbed mixture and add the dissolved sugar and water.
Mix until it forms a dough, ensuring the fat is well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 300 milliliters of full fat milk, and 25 grams of caster sugar until well combined.
Roll out the pastry to about 4 millimeters thick and transfer it to a 7-inch tin, pressing it down gently.
Dot the base of the pastry with a fork, being careful not to pierce through.
Blind bake the pastry by placing parchment paper on top and adding baking beans or rice, then bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
Remove the blind baking weights and fill the pastry shell with the custard mixture, almost to the top.
Sprinkle nutmeg on top of the custard before baking.
Bake the custard tart in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness by lifting the tart to see if it's set but slightly runny in the middle.
If the custard is still runny, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
