How to Make Pastel de Nata (Portuguese Custard Tart) | Authentic & Delicious Recipe

In a pot, combine the sugar, water, lemon peel, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes.

In another pot, combine the milk, wheat flour, and cornstarch, and cook over heat until the mixture thickens.

Remove from heat and add the beaten eggs, stirring well until the mixture is smooth.

Allow the custard to cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Cut the puff pastry into circles and place them in the molds. Fill with the chilled custard.

Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tarts are golden and crispy.

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve the pastel de nata fresh and delicious.
