Portuguese Milk Tarts {Queijadas de Leite}
Description
This recipe prepares a smooth batter from sugar and flour combined with eggs, melted butter, and whole milk. The mixture is poured into greased muffin tins filled just over three-quarters full and baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the edges and top develop a golden hue.
The resulting tarts are tender and custardy with a gentle firmness. After baking, they’re removed from the tins while hot and sprinkled with a cinnamon and sugar blend, which adds a fragrant, sweet touch to the surface.
These milk tarts are served at room temperature and can be made a day ahead, stored in a cool place. Their sweet, creamy nature pairs well with coffee or tea.
