I am so glad to see you are up and about without your neck brace. I think I’ll actually make these because I know my wife loves this tart

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Thanks John. Hope you enjoy them.

Hey, thanks!

[@oliverm2077]

Glad to see you on the mend Mr. Paul, thanks as always for the recipe 👍 have a lovely Sunday

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Thanks, you too Oliver, always nice to hear from you.

[@dorothyjacobs294]

Welcome back Mr Paul. It's so great to see you back on TV. Hope you are recovered. Mr Paul I live in a state in Malaysia called Malacca where there are lots of Portuguese descendents as Portugal colonised this state. This is one of the pastrie they make for Xmas etc. It's called Christang foods. Polite request any chance of a Dundee cake recipe. TQ.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Dorothy, Tes, it's on my list to do a little nearer Christmas. I'm afraid things have been a bit upset with my accident, I'm about 8 months behind !!

[@junesymonds8340]

Thanks Mr. Paul for your demonstration, Enjoyable as always. Take care 🫖☕

Pastéis de Nata are fantastic, perfect with a nice strong coffee. Once again you deliver a masterclass Mr Paul. Shared.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Pete, many thanks, always good to hear from you, By the way, even though it's still around 40ºC here I'm making your Sausage Casserole today, with Cumberland sausages. Regards to you both.

[@LazyCookPete]

That will be delicious I'm sure. I trust the Cumberland sausages are homemade 😋

I’m lucky enough to buy these in bakeries in the San Francisco Bay Area where there are many residents of Portuguese descent. Thanks to you, Mr. Paul, I now know how to make them myself 🙏

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Simon, I've simplified it a little because the Portuguese roll their puff pastry like a swiss roll and cut off slices similar to a cinnamon bun then mould it into the tin with their thumbs, but I found quite often I had holes in the pastry case doing it this way, Thank for you comment, always nice to hear from you and also what's happening on the other side of the world too.

[@simonwong2346]

@@MrPaulsPantry, I hadn’t noticed the pastry other than it tasted good. Your expertise renders these recipes achievable for the home-baker. As for matters here, too many mass shootings each week. I don’t know if they’re all reported in the UK but it’s gut-wrenching to hear of unnecessary loss of life, so frequently. Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted might be of some benefit but considerably more is needed. America is a wonderful and interesting place but has its pros and cons just like anywhere else.

[@kirsten07734]

I love that in addition to sharing your tried and true recipes from your bakery days (like your famous pork pie) you also research recipes you haven’t done before and give us your foolproof version of them (like this one). I remember school dinner cheese flan and your professional interpretations of commercial products like your copycat of McVities Jamaican Ginger Cake. Thank you so much, Mr Paul!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

You are so welcome Kirsten, thank you for your comments,, it's always good to hear from you. I'm very happy you find my videos helpful.

[@pamelataylor3537]

Thank you Mr. Paul. I’ll definitely try these. I always thought they were hard to make but I was wrong. After watching you make these I’ll be making them as soon as I get some pastry from the supermarket, yum yum, yum, I cant wait.

[@bernadetteoneill7014]

Thank you sir. I wish could get them already rolled puff pastry here. That would be awesome. I can make them all the time. 😊😋

[@raygray7779]

Thanks Mr. Paul for another great recipe. I have never made these before but will certainly give them a go. Good advice about the pastry too, I usually buy ready made tbh. 👍👍👍

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hope you enjoy them Ray and I don't blame you, I do the same with the pastry now I live alone. Thanks for watching

[@joaorobalo9353]

@@MrPaulsPantry the puff pastry (that you buy in a shop) is not the same as the original pastry recipe for pastel de nata

[@GolDreadLocks]

I am excited to try this version, they look so yummy! Thanks Mr. Paul for another delight!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching.

[@MikeJones-zt3kb]

Thanks MR. PAUL, it's amazing to see you sharing your skills again, looking well too 😀 I've made your traditional English custard tarts many times a classic foolproof recipe, it's bank holiday Monday in the UK tomorrow and with my lot having a lazy day I'm going to make these, thanks as always for sharing your experience about the sugar were not too sweet to taste and now I know will slightly adjust that, quick question we only have semi-skimed milk but always have cream, can I add cream to that milk to save buying specially full milk. Once again great to hear and see your posts. Mike Jones, Abergele, North Wales

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Mike, yes do add some cream, nothing worse than watery custard!! Good to hear from you as always.

Wonderful Mr. Paul. We had these in Portugal and wanted to make our own! I hope I can find the butter pastry here in California. Of course I can try my own but as you said, the ready made isn’t bad. I do my Quiches that way, though the crust for them is short crust.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi John, shop bought pastry has improved 1000% in the past few years. I do occasionally make a batch of puff pastry and freeze it, but living on my own now it's so much easier to buy some for recipes with a very small quantity. Thnaks for watching

[@laracroft9679]

Fantastic one of my favorites.. you have the best recipes. That are loved by millions Thank goodness for you and thank you for you 😇✨

Thank you Lara for your very kind comment, it's much appreciated.

[@Coldsmoking]

I love a custard tart. Always get one of these when in france but not had a Portugese one before. Thanks for the video. will definitely try this one.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I always prefer the English Custard Tart, mainly because that's what we made in my bakeries, The Portuguese ones are a bit too sweet for me. My English custard tart: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaTClJ2ag9GXatE

Good to see you back again. Would like to know if you know anything about Japonaise biscuits which are either French or Swiss, as there's not much about these online...

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Yes we made them every week in my bakery, always known in the trade as JAP's. They are very much like an Almond Macaroon. I don't have access to my old paperwork at present as I've had the builders in the house for the past couple of weeks, but here is a good recipe; fullasanegg.org/jap-cakes/

I made some Portuguese custard tarts today my custard could have been a little bit thicker but me and the family enjoyed them thank you 😋

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Try leaving them in the oven a few minutes longer Connie. Thanks for the feedback, always good to hear.

[@Alexis84DE]

What a funny coincidence! I was actually just thinking hours ago I haven’t had a new vid in a long time, hope everything is ok health wise and here is a new video now. Awesome! Does this mind trick work if I wonder about a million dollars to spend? Haha 😂 hope you are well Mr Paul, nice video as always ❤️

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi, as you know I was born into a very poor travelling (Gypsy) family, my parents always told me "Think you can and you WILL, think you can't and you WON'T" It certainly worked for me Alexis. Thanks for watching.

[@Infiniti25]

Pasteis de nata....any time these appear in Lidl I buy a few boxes since they are frozen. Definitely going to have a go at this. Thanks Mr Paul! Edit: I thought pasteis de nata were made with Filo pastry. Are these called something different in your region Mr Paul?

[@MrPaulsPantry]

here where I live they are called pasteles de Nata and no, they are not made with filo in Portugal. Thanks for watching.

[@nobattles4322]

Curious why you moved to Spain? I've been considering moving there 1. Way cheaper to live there than here in USA 2. Seems the weather is awesome. Am I right or wrong? Thanks!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi, my late wife and I had a house in Morocco for many years and purchased a small studio flat in Spain so we could break the drive down to Morocco from the UK. We fell in love with Spain so decided to sell up in the UK (house & Business) and move permanently to Spain and open a bakery here. Sadly I lost my dear wife and I'm retired now for 13 years. It is much cheaper to live and the weather is really good. Be warned, there are many pitfalls nowadays moving to Spain, large income requirements and private healthcare.

[@nobattles4322]

@@MrPaulsPantry Thank you 😊

[@mikkins85710]

These are a popular item iñ Chinese dim sum restaurants

[@williambreazeale]

Sort of. They are less sweet and not as rich, and use lard not butter for the pastry. But they are related, as Macau is where they come from originally, Portuguese colony, then spread to Hong Kong and Canton areas.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

For what it's worth, I used lard in my pastry in the bakery for 60 years and still do now at home. Thanks for watching.

[@francisbarlow9904]

Hello Mr Paul, could you use cold water set custard to make these?

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Francis. I've never tried so I couldn't say. sorry. But if you try it, do let me know the outcome please.

[@1justpara]

Mr Paul, in the printed recipe you say "400mls whole milk" but in the video you say "300mls". Could you clarify which is the correct amount please.

[@1justpara]

Well I'm about to make them right now so I'm not sure if it's 300 or 400 mls of milk, so I'm going for 300mls, lol, wish me luck, I'm not a good cook to start with

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Sorry about my error, the correct amount of milk is 400g/mls

[@1justpara]

@@MrPaulsPantry Well, I went for the 300mls and they came out nice but not nice enough eat them all. Maybe if I'd used the 400ml they might have tasted less 'sweet'. I made 6 but only ate 1. Thank you for clarifying, I shall amend my written recipe and maybe try again.

[@peterhayman2266]

Leave out the vanilla, sprinkle Cinnamon on the top instead

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Sorry Pete, can't stand the stuff. It's in absolutely everything here in Spain both sweet and savoury.

[@joaorobalo9353]

The pastry should not come off from the tin according to the portuguese recipe. It looks like your recipe is an english custard tart version. Also the puff pastry (that you buy in a shop) is different from the original portuguese pastry recipe.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Interesting, do they sell them in the tin then? My recipe is nothing like an English custard tart, in fact I've made and sold any thousands of English Custard Tarts in my bakery over the past 60 years. Unfortunately I just checked but failed to see any of your videos, I wonder why'
