Binging with Babish: Egg Tarts from Avatar The Last Airbender
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.

all-purpose flour
🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour
💰Cheaper: cake flour

sugar
🥗Healthier: honey
💰Cheaper: brown sugar
Honey offers a natural sweetness.
Into a food processor, add 225 g of all-purpose flour, 50 g of powdered sugar, and 9 tablespoons of unsalted butter; pulse until resembling wet sand.
Add 1 large beaten egg to the food processor and process until a soft ball of dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about half an hour.
In a bowl, combine 150 ml of very hot tap water with 75 g of superfine sugar; whisk until dissolved.
Whisk 2 large eggs into 85 ml of evaporated milk, then combine with the sugar water mixture in a larger bowl and strain into a pour-friendly container.
Roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of 6 mm and cut into rounds slightly larger than the cupcake tin.
Line the cupcake tin with the pastry rounds, pressing them down into the cups.
Skim off any foam from the egg mixture before filling the pastry shells 3/4 to 7/8 full with custard.
Place the filled cupcake tin on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set but still jiggly.
Remove the tarts from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
