These are delicious, authentic Portuguese tarts made easy with puff pastry. Traditionally known as Pasteis de Nata.
- 2-3 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp cornflour
- 200g caster sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 6 egg yolks
1. Preheat oven to 190C. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin and line bottom and sides of cups with puff pastry.
2. In a saucepan, combine milk, cornflour, sugar and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Place egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk half of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks. Gradually add egg yolk mixture back to remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Remove vanilla bean.
3. Fill pastry-lined muffin tin with egg mixture and bake for 20 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is lightly browned on top.
