Ever have a craving so strong you’d drive two hours for it? That was me with pastel de natas. The only place near me with the good ones is all the way in New Jersey, but instead of hitting the road, I decided to tackle making them at home. The process was a little more complex than I thought, but getting that perfectly crispy, flaky crust was so worth it.
Have you ever tried making these? Let me know in the comments!

I used to have to drive an hour in order to get this. Today we’re making pastel donatas at home. [Music] apple. [Music] You ready to get these wrapped up? Yes. In this [Music] [Music] Nice. Want to try one? You want a spoon? Oh, yeah. 64 layers of pastry. An amazing egg filling. I don’t have to drive that far anymore. Is it good? Was it even a big bite? It’s hot. It’s not hot. Hot. Not hot. [Music]
