Pastéis de Nata in the history of Portugal…
In fact, Pastéis de Nata have been created by the monks and nuns in the Monastery of Jerónimos in Belém, Lisbon. In the early 18th century convents and monasteries used large quantities of egg-whites for starching clothes. It was quite common to use the yolks leftover to make cakes and pastries!
In the aftermath of the Liberal Revolution of 1820, following the dissolution of religious orders and in the face of the impending closure of many convents and monasteries, the monks started selling Pastéis de Nata at a nearby sugar refinery to bring in revenue. In 1834, the monastery was closed and the recipe sold to the sugar refinery.
Portugal is famed the world over for the Pastéis de Nata – crisp, flaky layers of pastry with a delicious, creamy egg-custard filling and a dusting of cinnamon.
