Binging with Babish: Egg Tarts from Avatar The Last Airbender

Pick up my cookbook today!
www.bingingwit...
Avatar: The Last Airbender is rife with delicious-sounding foods that y'all have requested - puffin-seal sausages, fire flakes, sizzle crisps, smoked sea slug - but none sound quite so accomplishable as Aang's favorite food, egg custard tarts. Today we're taking a crack at both the show-accurate version, as well as its origin, the Portuguese pasteis de nata!

Food history! The Hong Kong version evolved from the Portuguese version. I had a friend from Hong Kong in college and we regularly nerded out about this :)

[@amirakhan9731]

would it have spread there from Macau?

[@canadave87]

@Joe S The Portuguese version originates from Catholic monks in Belém (an area of Lisbon east of the city centre) sometime in the 17th century. I think there are other versions that date back farther, but that's the origin of that particular version. I highly recommend eating your way through the cafes of Lisbon, incidentally, assuming we can travel again someday. The baked goods are incredible,. and the espresso rivals what you can get in Italy.

0:28 Not to be too pedantic, but since we are all learning together I want to point out this is a Portuguese tart or a tarte de nata, which is popular in Macau (former Portuguese colony) but not Hong Kong (former English colony).

So I just tried making this dish. It's the first time I've ever baked and it turned out superb. I cannot believe how well the crush turned out considering that it looked a complete mess going into the oven. The custard is flavorful and delicious, and the crust is flaky and crispy. Thanks so much for doing this show. I've made a number of dishes after watching your videos and none of them have turned out as well as this. But it's been a lot of fun trying different recipes. This was awesome.

[@cynthiapimentel3364]

I’m Portuguese and I love making these. A trick to make it easier to spread the dough into the tin is to let it warm up slightly before you start pressing. Cold dough is good for when you are cutting it into pieces. Cut all of them and place them in the tin cut side down, give it a couple minutes and then start pressing into shape. It should make it easier.
