Anne A few weeks ago Anna went to Portugal. So of course I had to make Pastel de Nata! This famous pastry is so DELICIOUS and also easy to make at home. The recipe consists of a combination of puff pastry with a filling of lemon, vanilla and cinnamon. The original recipe, which comes from a bakery in Lisbon, is secret, but this recipe comes pretty close.
