Pastel de Nata

Pastel de Nata is a small custard tart found throughout Portugal's pastry shops or cafés. It is believed that it was created before the 18th century by Catholic Monks at the Jerónimos Monastery (Portuguese: Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) of Belém, in Lisbon. Casa Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon was the first place outside the convent selling this creamy dessert, and there they are called Pastéis de Belém, after the name of the area. Since 1837, locals have gone there to get them warm out of the oven and sprinkled with the cinnamon and powdered sugar. These are very popular, with tourists waiting in excess of 3 hours for them.
