Steps:
- In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the flour, salt, and water until a soft, pillowy dough forms that pulls away from the side of the bowl, about 30 seconds.
- Generously flour a work surface and pat the dough into a 6-inch (15-cm) square using a pastry scraper. Flour the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough into an 18-inch (46-cm) square. As you work, use the scraper to lift the dough to make sure the underside isn't sticking to your work surface.
- Brush the excess flour off the top of the dough, trim any uneven edges, and, using a small offset spatula, dot and then spread the left 2/3 portion of the dough with a little less than 1/3 of the butter being careful to leave a 1 inch (25 mm) plain border around the edge of the dough.
- Neatly fold the unbuttered right 1/3 of the dough (using the pastry scraper to loosen it if it sticks) over the rest of the dough. Brush off any excess flour, then fold over the left 1/3 of the dough. Starting from the top, pat down the dough with your hand to release any air bubbles, and then pinch the edges of the dough to seal. Brush off any excess flour.
- Turn the dough 90° to the left so the fold is facing you. Lift the dough and flour the work surface. Once again roll it out to an 18-inch (46-cm) square, then dot the left 2/3 of the dough with 1/3 of the butter and smear it over the dough. Fold the dough as directed in steps 4 and 5.
- For the last rolling, turn the dough 90° to the left and roll out the dough to an 18-by-21-inch (46-by-53-cm) rectangle, with the shorter side facing you. Spread the remaining butter over the entire surface of the dough.
- Using the spatula as an aid, lift the edge of dough closest to you and roll the dough away from you into a tight log, brushing the excess flour from the underside as you go. Trim the ends and cut the log in half. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours or preferably overnight. (The pastry can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour and 1/4 cup milk (60 ml) until smooth.
- Bring the sugar, cinnamon, and water to a boil in a small saucepan and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 220°F (104°C). Do not stir.
- Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, scald the remaining 1 cup milk (237 ml). Whisk the hot milk into the flour mixture.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and then pour the sugar syrup in a thin stream into the hot milk-and-flour mixture, whisking briskly. Add the vanilla and stir for a minute until very warm but not hot. Whisk in the yolks, strain the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside. The custard will be thin; that is as it should be. (You can refrigerate the custard for up to 3 days.)
- Place an oven rack in the top third position and heat the oven to 550°F (290°C). Remove a pastry log from the refrigerator and roll it back and forth on a lightly floured surface until it's about an inch (25 mm) in diameter and 16 inches (41 cm) long. Cut it into scant 3/4-inch (18-mm) pieces. Place 1 piece pastry dough, cut side down, in each well of a nonstick 12-cup mini-muffin pan (2-by-5/8-inch [50-by-15-mm] size). If using classic tins, cut the dough into generous 1-inch (25-mm) pieces. Allow the dough pieces to soften several minutes until pliable.
- Have a small cup of water nearby. Dip your thumbs in the water, then straight down into the middle of the dough spiral. Flatten it against the bottom of the cup to a thickness of about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm), then smooth the dough up the sides and create a raised lip about 1/8 inch (3 mm) above the pan. The pastry bottoms should be thinner than the tops.
- Fill each cup 3/4 full with the cool custard. Bake the pastries until the edges of the dough are frilled and brown, about 8 to 9 minutes for the mini-muffin tins, 15 to 17 minutes for the classic tins.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pasteis to cool a few minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack and cool until just warm. Sprinkle the pasteis generously with confectioners' sugar, then cinnamon and serve. Repeat with the remaining pastry and custard. These are best consumed the day they're made.

PORTUGUESE COCONUT CUSTARD TARTS
They're really simple to make and quite delicious. It's a creamy custard with a touch of sweet coconut. We really enjoyed them. Although they look like cupcakes, these aren't "finger food" and aren't eaten with your hands, much like someone might enjoy a cupcake. Instead, these tarts are best eaten with a spoon.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Adjust oven rack to middle position. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with 10 paper cupcake liners; set aside.
- 2. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup milk.
- 3. In a food processor, shred the coconut for 30 seconds.
- 4. In a large bowl, stir the eggs and sugar together with a wooden spoon. One by one, add the cornstarch mixture, remaining 3/4 cup milk, coconut, melted butter, and lemon extract, stirring well after each addition.
- 5. Using a ladle or small measuring cup, ladle custard into the paper cups, filling each to 1/4 inch from the top. (Stir the custard frequently to keep coconut distributed.)
- 6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly toasted. Cool and serve slightly warm, or let cool completely in the muffin tin, and serve later. They should puff up during baking, but they'll shrink down a bit once they start cooling.
- 7. They're marvelous as is (and my favorite way to enjoy these tarts!). But if you don't like the indentation on top after they cool, you can spoon a little jam or sliced fruit on top.
PORTUGUESE CUSTARD TARTS (PASTEIS DE NATA)
This slightly streamlined recipe for the world-famous pasteis de nata, or Portuguese custard tarts, uses just few basic ingredients but requires numerous steps and a certain amount of finesse. The results are so worth it, though, you'll want to make a double batch. The extra moisture inside the sticky dough, activated by a very hot oven, creates the signature flaky, buttery, crispy crust, which encases a custard subtly scented with lemon, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Steps:
- Combine flour, salt, and cold water in a bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Dough should be sticky; adjust with more flour or water to achieve what's shown in the video.
- Transfer dough onto a well floured surface. Dust a little more flour over the top. Knead for a minute or two to form a round. Cover and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Roll dough into a square about 1/8 inch thick, dusting with flour as necessary; dough should still be sticky.
- Spread 1/3 of the butter over 2/3 of the square using a silicone spatula, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Flip the unbuttered side over the middle of the square and fold the opposite end over it like a letter. Straighten the edges as needed.
- Turn dough with a bench scraper to unstick it from the counter; dust with flour. Flip and sprinkle more flour on top. Roll dough into a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle, carefully stretching edges as needed. Spread another 1/3 of the butter over 2/3 of the dough. Fold into thirds. Transfer onto a lined baking sheet and freeze until butter is slightly chilled, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle dough with flour and roll into a square a little over 1/8 inch thick. Spread remaining butter over the dough, leaving a 1- to 1 1/2-inch border on the top edge. Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the unbuttered edge. Roll dough into a log starting from the bottom edge. Dust with more flour and polish the ends as needed. Seal with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Combine sugar, 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, cinnamon, and lemon zest in a pot. Boil over medium heat, without stirring, until syrup reaches 210 to 215 degrees F (100 degrees C). Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven 550 degrees F (288 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Whisk flour, salt, and cold milk together very thoroughly in a cold pot. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until milk thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Whisk egg yolks into the cooled milk. Add the sugar syrup and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Strain custard into a glass measuring cup.
- Unwrap the dough and trim any uneven bits on the ends. Score log into 12 even pieces using a knife; cut through.
- Place a piece of dough in each muffin cup. Dip your thumb lightly in some cold water. Press thumb into the center of the swirl; push dough against the bottom and up the sides of the cup until it reaches least 1/8 inch past the top. Fill each cup 3/4 of the way with custard.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is browned and bubbly, and the tops start to blister and caramelize, about 12 minutes. Cool tarts briefly and serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to its highest setting, or at least 230C/210C Fan/Gas 8.
- To make the sugar syrup, bring the sugar, cinnamon and lemon rind to the boil in a saucepan with 250ml/9fl oz water. Reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering, then simmer for 3 minutes. Set the syrup aside until completely cool. Once cool, discard the cinnamon stick and lemon rind.
- To make the custard, mix the flours together in a bowl. Pour in a splash of milk and stir with your finger until combined.
- Bring the remaining milk to the boil in a saucepan over low heat, stirring regularly. Gradually add the boiled milk to the flour and whisk for 1 minute, or until smooth and well combined. Slowly whisk in the sugar syrup. Whisk in the egg yolks, whole egg and vanilla seeds until smooth. Set aside.
- Roll out the pastry onto a lightly floured work surface to a rectangle measuring approximately 50x30/20x12in, but more importantly to a thickness of 1mm. With the longest edge of the pastry rectangle facing you, roll the pastry as tightly as possible, brushing it from right to left with water as you go. Cut the pastry roll into 2cm/¾in-thick discs.
- Place the discs in the holes of a muffin tin and massage them with a circular motion using a wet thumb, until the pastry rises up the sides of the holes in the tray. Make sure you don't make any holes in the pastry.
- Fill the pastry cases with the custard until they are almost, but not quite, full.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry has risen and the surface of the custard is scorched. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the custard to set slightly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a muffin tin with 10 cupcake liners. Reserve.
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut and coconut milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each all the way to the top. The tarts won't rise, so don't be afraid to fill them almost completely. Before baking, stir them with a fork, to distribute the coconut and cheese evenly.
- Place the muffin tin into a large baking dish with high sides. You can use a rectangular casserole dish, for example. Bring a kettle full of water to a boil and then pour the boiling water into the larger baking dish, around the muffin tin, being careful to avoid splashing water into the queijadinhas. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the muffin tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool before serving.
- Enjoy!

20 MOUTH-WATERING PORTUGUESE DESSERTS (RECIPES INCLUDED)
From beportugal.com
- Portuguese Custard Tarts. Let’s start with perhaps the most famous pastry in Portugal – the ‘pastéis de nata’ also known as ‘pastéis de Belém’ (but with slightly different recipes).
- Queijadas de Sintra. A traditional sweet found in the majestic town of Sintra, Queijada de Sintra’s are a cheese, egg and cinnamon tart with a crunchy outer layer.
- Bola de Berlim. If you are a doughnut fan, wait until you try the Bola de Berlim. These Portuguese doughnuts are made with sweet dough, filled with lots of egg yolk cream and dusted off with icing sugar.
- Bolo Rei. Traditionally eaten at Christmas time, the Bolo Rei or ‘King Cake’ is a staple dessert in any Portuguese home during the holidays. The cake is made from sweet bread, nuts, and crystallized fruit.
- Caramel Flan. A crème caramel or ‘flan’ is as you guessed it, a custard dessert, with a layer of caramel topping. You could say this is the Portuguese version of a crème Brulée but without the crusty top layer.
- Pão de Deus. With a name that translates to “God’s bread,’ it is easy to see why this is one of my favourite desserts in Portugal. The Pão de Deus is a sweet golden bread filled with coconut, a sure recipe sent from the heavens.
- Arroz Doce. Now a popular dessert around the world, the Arroz Doce is a rice pudding made with rice, sugar, egg, milk and salt. It is best served with a crusty exterior and custard-like soft interior.
- Tarte de Alfarroba. A carob tart traditional of the Algarve region, it is made using locally grown carobs (figs) and almonds. It is not actually chocolate, but its flavour is rich and tastes very similar.
- Molotov. Like many Portuguese desserts, the Molotov is made using egg whites. It is a light and airy dessert that just about melts in your mouth. If you want to try and make it at home, here’s the recipe.
- Bolo de Bolacha. A traditional biscuit cake that does not require any baking! It is prepared using Maria biscuits, a classic Portuguese biscuit that every Portuguese family stock in their pantry.
