This weekend I met up with Jen and Amy and they were telling me about this dessert that they had when they were in Portugal. So, given that I love baking, I decided to try my hand at making them.
No, they aren't cupcakes, BUT, they are made in a cupcake pan! :) Close enough! These little treats are Portuguese Custard Cups, or Pasteis de Nata, or simply Natas!
I am a huge fan of puff pastry and custard. I think I went a little puff pastry crazy because they were bigger than I thought they would be. Next time I will add a little less puff pastry, add cinnamon on top, ohhh, or drizzled with honey and topped with berries!
Okay, I will stop now! :)
I found an article/recipe (I used my own custard recipe) on the Delicious Days Blog that was cute. Pasteis de Nata or can I be a cupcake, please? I love it!
