Aaah Pastel de Nata (Portuguese Tart) - the second love of my life.I hate the custard tarts you get in bakeries in Australia. Detest and despise their insipid, flubbery filling, and the floury awfulness of their crust.
But pastel de natas make my heart and my stomach sing. Creamy eggy custard filling with a slightly toasted top, and flaky, melt-in-your-mouth pastry. Best served straight from the oven and with a sprinkling of canela (cinnamon).
This one was a stumble-across find on Valentine's Day. The boy was most delighted. Happy days when one has love and food.
