My heart skipped a beat when you first squeezed the tart! Amazing, what talent and genius. You just made a lot of chefs angry over you revealing their secrets, but I could not be happier for you. And me who must try this sometime!

Xiao Gao must have some professional training, her technique is top class always
I agree with those who have noted Gao’s generosity for sharing her tips and tricks. Few chefs and bakers would be so open. She makes everything so neatly and look easy and do-able at home. Many thanks to her.
Hello from USA. I am Portuguese and I buy these for special occasions. I will try your recipe. They looked absolutely delicious. Great recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in awe of your mastery, especially when you roll dough, it’s beautiful to watch ! Thank you for this recipe : I love these « pasteis de nata », but I didn’t trust the recipes I had found. I know I can trust you, from experience ! I just ordered the special baking pans, and I realise my mouth is already watering haha Respectful love from France :) Edit : It was absolutely delicious, and were exactly what the Portuguese call « pasteis de nata » ! if you try this recipe : 1) making the dough was… very messy (the butter was leaking everywhere) ; but the result was very very good, nobody could tell I had been so helpless haha So.. don’t panic, if you are as clumsy as I am ! 2) the only thing I changed was with the filling : I cooked the water+ sugar+ lemon peels + cinnamon until it reached 105 °C (= approximately 5 minutes of boiling) ; i’m not sure how the result is different ; this is a classical step in (french ?) cooking. Perhaps Gao doesn’t mention it because most people don’t have a thermometer - or she found the result is the same 3) I had the real traditional portuguese moulds (bottom : diameter 4.5 cm / top : diameter 7.5 cm / height : 3.5) - so, not what you find usually sold as pasteis de nata moulds These moulds are higher than the moulds Gao uses ; the ratio dough/filling is different : you need much more filling If you have the traditional moulds, you need 23 to 25 g of dough per mould ; and if you double the quantities of (traditional) filling, you will fill 17 moulds (instead of 36 for the moulds she uses)

I made this! I made the less sugar version but i used 100Grams of sugar. The custard was delicious and the crust was delcious! The only thing i did wrong is i did not make the botton of crust super thin. Ms. Gao is correct that bottom of crust must be a thin layer. Mine was a bit thick and did not cook all the way through. regardless it was delicious! I had some custard left and no crust so i just baked on its own in a glass dish. thank you again for a great recipe!!
Portuguese person here. The name of this pastry is "pastel de nata" and you did them very well. Congratulations! In my experience, it's very rare that someone doest like this 😂😘

I'll definitely remember the authentic name pastel de nata! Finally someone tells me what it is really called. If you are curious about why we somehow miscall it Portuguese egg tart... We are familiar with it because it is also common in Macau, and I believe KFC in China sell it too. They both refer it as Portuguese egg tart in Chinese. I guess they just want to make it easier for us to understand that it is a western tart-shaped dessert with egg aroma haha. And indeed everyone likes it!

@@rosiey4710 No, actually, the _pastel de nata_ and the Portuguese egg tart are two different pastries. The Portuguese egg tart based on the _pastel de nata_ was invented in Macau by British industrial chemist Andrew Stow who introduced them in 1989-they had a creamier custard based on the British custard tarts that Stow was familiar with. In fact the Portuguese who taste-tested them turned their noses up at them because they weren’t authentic enough but Stow didn’t care-he knew what he was going for.
I made it today. Very crispy, flaky and delicious. But as I didn't have eggtart mould, I used 6pcs non-stick muffin tray to replace. Only managed to do 12 crusts and there were leftover liquid after pouring. I made the less sweet version. The tart was challenging to make and my Butter kept melting fast but I just continue to roll even though it was slippery n buttery with the butter coming out of the dough. Result still came out good. As my oven max temp was only 240°C, I baked it for 12mins and last 3mins lowered to 220°C. Turned the tray halfway.

I’ve made these twice now using your recipe and they tasted amazing both times! My family and friends absolutely loved them as well. Thank you so much for the great recipe😊

Which filling recipe did you make the first one or the second one?
I tried this, the Sugar Reduced one. It was great!! Story time: I used disposable Aluminum Foil Egg Tart Molds cause it's the one I have at home. I also just use plain milk, actually semi-skimmed milk cause it was on sale - so I put a little amount of cornstarch to make it kinda thicc. I already know that my sugar ain't gonna melt cause it was stocked in the fridge so I heated up my milk for a bit for the sugar to melt. I made a lot of filling actually. Maybe because my molds are too small. In my opinion though, it's much better to use egg yolks and remove the egg whites , it will taste less 'eggy' and more custard~y. I think it would also taste great with a little vanilla. Next time I'd definitely try this with Heavy Cream~ For the puff pastry, it was my first time and it was great!! I used margarine cause butter is expensive. Also, you can make 18 molds with the dough. like just use a small amount of dough, you'd think that it's too thin but it's actually just enough. I tried with a thicker cut and made 14 pieces and the puff pastry was like puffing up so much the filling was spilling and I ended up with a thick puff pastry with a little filling inside. SO yeah, use small amount of dough, it works perfectly!! I cooked this in the air fryer. It was tricky cause the bottoms ain't crisping up. Maybe because I'm using Aluminum foil molds. So I tried cooking this plenty of times and what worked best for me was 180c for 13 mins then cool down a bit, then cooked again for 170c for 7 mins or depends on how brown I want them. I used a XIaomi Air Fryer.

@@ima6915 The top were still crispy. The bottom - not so much. Maybe because I used the less sugar version, I heard that if you use the original recipe (the one with cinnamon and flour) it's going to stay crispy cause the custard has flour in it.

I tried your recipe and succeeded beyond my imagination, the egg tarts are so yummy and crispy, very fragrant with cinnamon smell. Thank you so much Xiao Gao jie!
Great recipe and demo! Two quick questions though. (1) Re the recommended oven temperature, is it for fan(-assisted) oven or conventional oven? (2) When we put the dough back in the fridge to chill, are you referring to the refrigerator or the freezer? Appreciate your pointers. 🙏🏻

the answer to question 2: refrigerator
@FreakAl0n32 жыл бұрын
since she has been so generous bout all the techniques me as a baker , ill help to answer your questions its all depends on where u live. If you live in a area where the room tempt could reach 10-22°C , keep it on a chiller/ refrigerator with tempt around 4°C -8°C its okay for 30-45mins . longer than that your butter will be a little bit stiffer , you need to thaw it around 5 mins / 10 in your room tempt. If u live in Tropical area where daily nlrmal tempt is around 28°C -32°C well we r talking bout 2times longer time to work & resting , and u need to practice more than what they did on a cold area. freeze the dough overnight / 8 hr minimum , thaw in room tempt 28-32°C , for 10mins , get it back to the chiller for 3 hr. put out your butter slab let it sit for 1min on room tempt , then roll out your chilled dough from chiller. then fold it with butter. after 2nd fold. rest it on Freezer for 45mins - 1hr take out , thaw for 5 mins until when u press it with your finger , u only use around 50% of your power to press the dough. do your final work. cs the gluten will be a very good friend with you after that long resting. after shaping into roll , chill it again 30mins on freezer , 30mins on chiller. take out 1 by 1 to shape it on mold do not take more than 3 pcs at a time or it will be a disastrous butter melting experience. Goodluck 😉

Convection oven / fan assisted is a much better option. since it will spread the heat more evenly . if u dont have any convection , convensional oven will do the work, just maintain your eye on your oven. use bottom & top fire , middle rack , top very small fire , the bottom use as what she recommends u to use. if u cant set both fire on , bake the bottom part first use the highest tray part. after u see your pastry has been puffed up let it bake for a while , drop it to the lowest tray , change it into top side fire , let it bake on medium heat for few minutes for browning the top part.

Hello Xiao Gao. I very much appreciate the video and subtitles in English, which convinced me to try your recipe. As this is my first time making, just wondering if this can be prepared a day in advance and still have the crust crispy. Will warming these tarts in the oven do the trick? Which temperature, for how long, and which filling would you recommend best?
@stex50262 жыл бұрын
I think so... Most of the ones sold in cafes/restaurants were made ahead of time. As for the temperature, you just have to experiment a little for your own oven. In general though, I like mine a little burned, so higher temperature might work just fine (as long as you keep an eye on it)! Good luck!
Love Portuguese egg tarts! This is an absolutely lovely video. I am watching this video repeatedly to drum up the courage to try making them. Please advise how long do I chill the butter block in the fridge before I encase it with the dough?? From looking at the video once the butter is enveloped in the dough, it was not at all solid/hard when it was picked up there was a lot of slack. Is that true? Is it a misconception that the butter block has to be chilled hard so when it is rolled out with the dough it doesn’t blend/melt into the dough? Thanks a million in advance for any tips!
