Pastel de Nata is a popular breakfast dish, which is believed to be there even before the eighteenth century. It was discovered by Catholic monks at the Jeronimos Monastery, around Portugal. They created tart pastries and other confectionery using the leftover yolk that they used in the clearing of wines and starching of clothes. Pastel de Nata is somewhere between a custard tart and a cake. It is a sugary punch made with a crispy texture outside and creamy inside. The main ingredient is the custardy mix inside with a dusting of cinnamon. It is prepared by caramelizing the sugar and custard inside. The classic one is served warm with coffee. Very Nice
