🇵🇹 Queijadas de Leite: Portuguese Milk Tarts 🥧

These delightful little tarts are a cherished part of Portuguese pastry tradition. Queijadas de Leite are known for their silky custard-like texture, golden tops, and subtle sweetness. Despite the name “queijada” (which often implies cheese), this version is cheese-free, focusing instead on milk, eggs, sugar, and flour.

🍮 What Makes Them Special?

• Simple ingredients: Just milk, sugar, flour, eggs, and butter.
• Velvety texture: Creamy inside with a lightly caramelized top.
• Baked in tins: Traditionally in small metal molds, but muffin tins work too.
• No crust: The batter forms its own delicate shell as it bakes.
