How to Make Pastéis de Nata AKA Portuguese Custard Tarts | Cupcake Jemma

I am so, so pleased that these things exist. They are just the BEST! If you've never tried one then you need to make these. A little bit fiddly but heaps easier than you might think. And, you don't need to go all the way to Lisbon to get one now (although that would still rule!)

290g plain flour
1/4 tsp salt
210ml water
240g very soft unsalted butter
extra flour for dusting
For the custard...
40g plain flour
50ml milk
165ml water
240g caster sugar

As a Portuguese citizen, I couldn't feel more proud to see your enthusiasm and joy making our amazing "Pastéis de Nata"....as well as the bliss you clearly express when you taste them. Viva Portugal 🇵🇹

[@Tillysnow1]

"...much easier than you think" "To start with, we're gonna make the pastry" ... Jemma, you severely overestimate my abilities :P

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

Just use store-bought puff pastry. Honestly, there's no real need to make puff pastry from scratch these days, unless you're competing at MasterChef or something.

[@ethancwills8793]

YOOOOOOOO hahahahahah

[@ka-soul]

@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 no do not use puff pastry. It is not the same

Hello. Portuguese fan, here. I loved your approach to Pastel de Nata. Is one of my favorite sweets of all time, and a real winner at family events! I would like to give a small tip, when boiling the milk, try to use lemon peel instead of vanilla! It's just a tip, if you like lemon flavor like I do, just try it, trust me! I love your videos, and I've learned lots of things with you. I'm a huge fan! Obrigada 😘

[@TaniaLuisa75]

Thank you Claudia! I thought the same! Lemon not vanilla! She does this recipe in a different way I have seem in other Portuguese videos, but if works, I suppose it is ok!

[@beatrizgoncalves4562]

I think she made them more like Pasteis de Belem, which don't have a strong lemon flavour, but they taste more vanilla-y.

[@TheAnimaAnimal]

Coming from a Portuguese mother, lemon is essential. My mother uses it for just about everything. So much that I joke with her, asking: oh, is there lemon in it? Mom: *sounding like a gruff sailor for a second* of course

[@martapaiva5745]

I agree with you cláudia! better use lemon instead of vanilla. Few are tradicional Portuguese sweets that use vanilla. But in the end is all a matter of taste!

[@Archihuman]

Um pastel de nata com raspa de limão sabe a leite creme ou arroz doce. Não que o leite creme não seja bom mas o pastel de nata não leva limão, os de compra não têm limão. Há esse habito em Portugal de juntar canela e limão mas no caso do pastel de nata o limão não é para lá chamado

[@donalskehan]

So bloody good to see these done right! Once got to see how they make them in Lisbon- these looks as good as!

[@mariainesgomes]

I'm portuguese and I approve this video! Glad you like our pastéis so much ;D

[@mydear6788]

I tried your recipe. First the written recipe here missed the egg yolks but I watched the video so I used 6 yolks. 8 minutes isn't enough time for regular cupcake sizes, it's 18 minutes on 550 F and I broiled it for 3 more min more for the nice look that I wanted. I also used lemon peel with the cinnamon syrup. Came out very very nice ... Thank you

[@HowTasty]

I didn't know this recipe, thank you so much to share it Jemma, I will try it! I hope I'm not the only one who loves hard work recipes :D

[@madisenhillebrant108]

I just made these and oh my goodness, they might be some of the best pastries I have ever had. I have never made puff pastry from scratch, but it turned out fantastic on the first try. The only thing is I didn't quite get the browning on the custard, and I left it in the oven for as long as possible before the puff pastry started to brown too much for comfort. Anyways, good thing there are two batches in this recipe, because my boyfriend just ate 8 of them. Thank you for introducing me to so many nifty techniques, I adore you and your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@alecdorste643]

I had the same issue my first time but decided my last 3 minutes to switch my oven to broil and that helped mark the custard a little

[@raulpatrao1]

HI, i am from Portugal from the town where this Pasteis de Natas are made, they make this the original recipe for centuries, U did great job :) but just a small detail here if u don't mind :) . All the recipes from Pasteis de Nata all over Portugal and abroad are just a tinny sample what the original ones are :) No one is aware the real recipes, not even the workers are aware :) The traditional recipe belongs to the family they keep it in a REAL SAFE for generations, it's a very well-kept secret . Many people already try to buy the original recipe, but no SUCCESS AT ALL :) Thank you for posting this video, yes they are awesome, you must have them hot 🔥, but no icing sugar for me :)

[@simiusnix951]

just like those Filet Wellingtons all over England and abroad are probably just tinny samples of what Wellesley's chef cooked. I'm off to scold Ramsey that copycat I'm kidding.. but coca-cola - even though the recipe is still a well hidden secret - is by far not the best cola you could have in my opinion. (maybe the best you could gerenerate supid amounts of profit with) I havn't tried Pasteis de Natas yet and the original ones might be the best from all I know. However how likely is that with millions of talented pastry chefs present around the world today noone has come up with a "better" recipe than those monks 400 years ago - considering the ingriedients itself might have slightly changed during this time. That sounds a bit pretentious That's still an interesting fact though

[@Jeffffrey0902]

Recipe kept in a safe? Did Mr. Krabs invent it?

[@MarlaHyunie]

I made these last week and everyone loves it. It was tiring though but the tiring work was worth it. Now I’m off to make a new batch again!

[@dmc7511]

that crispy sound OMG!!!😍

[@vanessasimao2872]

I'm from Portugal, and this is one of my favourites pastries ever! I'm really happy you did this video I will definitely try it, and I thought it would be way more hard than it's!! 😘😘

Thanks so much for sharing this @CupcakeJemma! Just came back from our trip to Lisbon and absolutely fell in love with these tarts. I'm so excited to make these!

[@danielabustillo9837]

Thank you Gemma. It’s now 20 living abroad in a remote part of the world and deeply missing my pastéis de nata with the morning coffee. Que saudades! Your recipe is spot on! Believe me, I tried others and yours is the perfect one. Thank you so much

[@HalocraZze]

oh my god, finally! This is the one thing I always ate first when we visited my aunt who lives in Portugal. I'm dying to try these at home :D

[@Zoe-sk8vp]

I'm so excited to make these!Whenever I go to Portugal to visit family, custard tarts are one of the things that I look forward to most and so far I haven't been able to find a really good recipe for them-but these look amazing😁

[@ivanchl]

You have the best explanation and recipe out of all videos out there, I lost your video and searched for 30 min to find you again. With all the the videos out there, yours is the most authentic! You make it from scratch! All others use store bought low quality puff pastry. You are the best!

[@patriciaalves7689]

was watching this with my heart in my hands...being Portuguese, and given my mother could bake these, I come across so many videos claiming to make Pastéis de Nata, only to fail miserably. Even though some of the ingredients are not spot on, and the traditional ones look a bit different i do have to congratulate you for your recipe. remains one of my favourite baking channels 💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

you don't have to stand there for 10 minutes to cool it down, you can put it in an ice bath (placing the bowl on top of ice water) cheers!!! love you jemma xx

For some reason, KFC Singapore sells this. I mean I ain't hating I just struggle to find the connection between fried chicken and Portuguese egg tarts.

[@sarahlo5084]

Yanti Ashaiban As does KFC Taiwan, in several flavours. Can't think of a connection, but KFC is now my go-to place for these.

[@Catty19970807]

Yanti Ashaiban actually KFC bought the recipe from a bakery in Macau called Cafe e Nata Margaret's, if you’ve try the original version, KFC’s one is absolutely nothing😂😂

The chicken laid the egg.

[@jb6050]

So many comments here... so here are some tips from a Portuguese. - Jemma did a very original recipe mostly used all over Portugal (the ones from Belém is a well kept secret) and the two main 'originalities' featured are the use of s syrup instead of raw sugar and milk (not cream='nata'). Despite their name, the 'pastéis' don't have any cream (may be the Belém ones have) and in this they differ from ths ones made in Honk-Kong and Macau and many recipes on the web which are more like a British custard and have cream. - the only difference I've noticed is that in Portugal the milk is infused with the cinnamon and lemon peal instead, than the flour dissolved in some of th milk is added and the entire thing is cooked on the stove until it thickens. Than the syrup is added to it exactly as she did and after cooling the entire pot the yolks are added. - if you want to make a puff pastry with less water and thus more easy to handle you can but you might need some extra folding and for hot regions (I live in Brazil) my tip is to grate frozen butter in small floccules over the pastry instead of soft butter.

[@francelinacamilo4234]

I don't know where you got your recipe, but to me watching her she did not bad and the butter has to be soft

[@jb6050]

@@francelinacamilo4234 Her recipe for the puff pastry is perfect, my suggestion is for tropical hot places (I live near Rio de Janeiro) where it does help to grate frozen butter because it will last longer for working the dough before the temperatures of 33-38 Celsius melt it entirely. My recipe is from Portugal where I was born. For these pastries bakeries there usually make an easier version of the puff p. compared to the classical french method by spreading butter 3 times and fold it 3 times... you can see an example here (portuguese video, he uses margerine and he does put the dough 20 m in the fridge after two folds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJKaYZqfq6ucq5Y

[@newromantics_co]

I could tell you nailed the pastry just by the crispy sound when you bit onto it 🤤 spot on!

[@emilytagg7282]

just made these today and followed your recipe exactly, they turned out sooooo good!!! the video was great! it was my first time making puffed pastry and you made it look a lot less daunting! this is one of my husband's favourite desserts and he gives this 2 thumbs up!!!

[@JadeJabberwock]

Thanks so much for making this video! I usually like following written directions better, but this video simplified the process a lot since I knew what the dough was supposed to look like after each step. The only thing I did differently was temper the egg yolks before adding them to the rest of the ingredients. I added a little big of the hot mixture to the eggs a few times, whisking the whole time. This brought up the temp of the eggs and I didn't have to wait as long for the hot mixture to cool down.

[@angelche1992]

I tried them only one time, when I went to Portugal 7 years ago. They are sooo delicious and now I know how to make them! It would be very challenging for me, but who know... they might turn out very good. Thank you!

[@ryanplanski5558]

Made these last night and they came out perfect. Definitely need to cook closer to 15-18 minutes. I also added a few raspberries in a few of the pasteries. Saw that little trick in London at a wonderful place called Cafe De Nata.

[@LakierosJordy]

I was in lisbon and went out of my way to go to Belem to get the real "orginal" Pastéis de Belem from the one place that sells them, said to be what Pastéis de Nata are based on. (but they cant call it that because of copyright etc) The Belem ones did noooot disappoint. Way better than any Pastéis I had in lisbon.

[@linklimbim]

The best I ever had were in a small bakery in lagos but the second best were definitely the original ones from belem :)

[@midnightbaker1785]

I just made these this week and they were absolutely delicious. I made all 24 and my family demolished them in a weekend as you can’t stop at one! I made them over 3 days - first making the pastry, second making the custard, third forming pastry cases and baking. The pastry was the hardest bit. And I thought forming the cases was gonna be a pain but it was relatively quick and easy to do. I don’t usually like baking with pastry (it’s too delicate for my clumsy nature) and I’ve never made my own like this but I found the recipe was really forgiving so even my slapdash attempt worked out really well - complete with lamination and swirled base once baked! My oven only goes to 250°C so I left them in as long as my nerves could take it (about 10-12 mins). Only a few tarts got those characteristic dark blisters. They came out sizzling away and were SO crispy! Definitely best eaten on the first day. They weren’t as crispy on the second day and only a few made it to three days! The pastry was quite soft by then but still very tasty. The dusting of cinnamon on top really make a difference too! I was planning on this being a one time thing but I will definitely be making them again!!! Only thing - Jemma says 60ml milk on the video but the recipe says 50ml - I went with 55ml milk mixed with flour for the custard, and it worked out fine!

[@snippetsofvictoria]

Thank you so much for sharing this Jemma! I am going to make these for a friend who misses Portugal. This is going to make them so happy.

please can you use both metric and imperial conversions in your videos? I love your chanel and I have made your caramel popcorn and it is amazing, now I dont have to pay so much money for such a small quantity, bcoz I can just make my own.

I need to know how much milk you put in the sauce pan to boil while the sugar water pan was coming up to 100 degrees C. Thanks!

Where did you find the written recipe? This is also my question...:)

I went to Lisbon last year and I ate one almost everyday. These are delicious 😍

Can I use puff pastry instead? Lol

[@sammycardoso6729]

Amateur Baker yes!! it's way less time consuming, I always buy the puff pastry, makes the recipe even easier!

[@claireelizabethcreates]

Sammy Cardoso can you use shop-bought custard? i really wanna try and make this vegan by using dairy-free butter and custard

[@sammycardoso6729]

simply.s I really doubt it since it "hardens" a bit when you cook it in the oven and I don't know if vegan custard will do the same :/

[@doobieman69]

Dairy free butter and custard?? Are you taking the p###? Good joke dude!! You had me believing you for a minute there!!!

I made these today and they came out great! I found shaping the pastry cups outside the tin worked better for me (I have medium length nails and I was poking through the dough when trying to shape in the pan)

Jemma ... just back from Portugal about 2 weeks ago. I watched this video before going and decided I wanted to try them for the very first time IN Portugal so I knew what they were supposed to taste like. Let's just say I had a lot of practice tasting them in Portugal. 😁 So then I got home and started considering your recipe. I looked at and measured the cupcake tins I had and they just were not the right size. So I ordered some of the small tins they use in Portugal to make mine. It really does help in the forming of the tart crusts to have a small separate tin you can hold. Still, I watched one of the bakers do it in about 4 seconds in Lisbon and there's no way I'll be that fast. But practice does help ... my 12th one was better than my first one. Anyway your recipe is spot on! Making the puff pastry is "fiddly" to me but not really hard. My tarts came out amazing with a flavor profile just as I remember from Portugal. Thank you for a great recipe that will allow me to reminisce about my great Portugal trip anytime I want. 😊

[@elisehannah2748]

mariadamedecoeur no she didn't! 6 egg yolks went into the custard!
