Recreating the fillings of Pastel de Nata (Portuguese Custard Tart) by memory of having one of the good ones in Lisbon from Castro. Although we didn’t have a chance to travel to Belém to sample their famous egg tart, we did get ones from Castro which is in the city centre with great reviews. During my trip there we sampled many different ones, the quality varies drastically, Castro has one of the most memorable ones with its shell being thin and light, and its custard is amazing. Here I am focusing on the custard, making one for the test kitchen. Result? Taste is great, Texture-wise not quite there but close. Next time I will strain the custard twice to get a smoother texture.
