why does he sound like an idiot?
Hi chef John!! I want to makes these tarts but with puff pastry!! Would i need to blind bake the pastry first? 😊
The Cadence of your voice is so annoying! Lovely tarts though.
As a portuguese, there's only one thing missing! In the end give it a nice sprinkle of cinnamon! 🙂
delicious…labor of love & we all know its worth it!
Make sure to put something underneath your muffin pan to collect any melted butter – was delicious but got a little too smokey in the kitchen! This thing requests 550F or above too.
Nice 👍 .. Awesome .. Been to Portugal in 2017 (cycling trip) .. every shop I saw selling these I would stop and eat one accompanied with a Caffe .. Chef John could these be made in an Ooni style pizza oven (propane operated) .. my home oven just doesn't go to 550 .. but the outdoor pizza oven does .. waiting 4 reply B 4 trying it out ✅
To annoying couldnt watch it all

chatgpt: can you tell me the story of the invention of Pasteis de Nata?
Certainly! Pasteis de Nata, also known as Portuguese custard tarts, are a popular pastry that originated in Lisbon, Portugal in the 18th century.
The story goes that in the early 1800s, the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon used large quantities of egg whites to starch the clothes of the monks, leaving them with a surplus of egg yolks. The monks didn't want to waste the yolks, so they decided to use them to make a sweet pastry. They added sugar and milk to the yolks and baked the mixture in a pastry shell, creating the first Pasteis de Nata.
The recipe was so popular that the monastery began selling the pastries to support itself. However, in 1820, as part of a liberal revolution, the monastery was closed and the monks were forced to leave. The recipe for the pastries was then sold to a local sugar refinery, which began producing and selling the pastries under the name "Pastéis de Belém," named after the neighborhood where the sugar refinery was located.
To this day, the Pastéis de Belém bakery in Lisbon is still producing and selling the traditional Portuguese custard tarts using the original recipe passed down from the Jerónimos Monastery. They are made with a flaky pastry shell and a rich custard filling, and are dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar before serving. Pasteis de Nata have since become a beloved pastry not only in Portugal but also around the world, and are often served with coffee or tea as a delicious treat.
Lovely❣️This recipe, and all the recipes out there are pretty yummy❣️But our recipe remains a secret. And the true pasteis de nata (as per our recipe), one can only buy from the one and only Pastelaria de Belém in Portugal❤️🇵🇹❤️Pronto, bom apetite, e muito obrigado
I miss Portugal everyday honestly 😪😪. Will be making these this week coming
GET THESE AWAY FROM ME GOOD LORD
If you put it in the freezer yes, you have to thaw it out…but do you have to bring it back to room temperature when you are ready to roll out the dough? Or can it be rolled out cold?
I went to Portugal years ago and it is my favorite country. seafood, beaches, andI Lisbon: it is what living in Quebec City would be like if it had warm summer climate, and a larger ocean…In Portugal the locals gather in large coffee houses on a Sunday’s and eat these with Coffee. I’m glad I found a recipe that was easy to make.
God Bless you dear man… I smile ear to ear during your videos; as i can hear the love you put into your efforts. Thank you!
for an american, this guy is actually quite funny. Great vid.
Muita farinha no creme de ovos…
I like the way u narrated the recipe…. And yes this is a very good recipe of the Portuguese custard tarts
Most difficult pastry I’ve ever made, but they turned out beautiful.
How much butter????
I made these, they are superbly delicious ❤😋
I just made these and they came out amazing!! I had some leftover custard though so next time I’m just gonna double the crust recipe and store what’s left. Can’t wait to make these again! ❤
After having made these i've got two main takeaways.
First, I'd advice you use chef john's approach in wisking the flour into all of the milk at once. I tried doing it the seperated way and i had a lot of undissolved flour in my mixture.
Secondly, if you have a good oven 550 F for 12 minutes is too long you'll have burnt your dough edges and have too much blistering on the custard.
By the way guys, Slightly Damp Edge will be playing at Gabe's this weekend, no cover charge
Yummmm!!!
tbh this video is kinda boring
and it seems more like an article from oxford english books
