Can't wait to make these! CWA in WA is studying Portugal this year. I'm the new Secretary of our branch and I've told all the members that I'll be bringing these to the next meeting.
They can only have one if they bring along an interesting fact about Portugal!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Well done, MJ.  We tried  these last night with the cinnamon sprinkled on top,  and this is the way to go.  I let every one add their own cinnamon.

I have been trying to avoid this thread as I absolutely love Portuguese custard tarts and these look simply divine. Oh well life's too short etc...
Since they cost $4 each here I only have one very occasionally. Now I'm impatiently waiting for my oven to be fixed so I can make these ASAP :)
Thank you Chookie.

Hally, perfect.  Have found they reheat well,  in both oven and microwave.  How did you go with the pastry ?
