While I was in Portugal this week I tried a few of their delicious pastries. The first one is called a "
queijada." The second one and the most famous is called "
pasteis de nata." Both were really good but I was especially smitten by the
queijada and never stopped looking for them while I was there. It is really hard to describe what it was like except to say that it was heavenly! The
pasteis de natas were also very good, especially when sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon. It is basically a custard tart with a really crispy crust. I bought a
Portugese cookbook which include
s both of these recipes. I can't wait to try and make these at home!
