Not sure about the prep or cook times, I only made them once many years ago, its easier to buy them ;-) adapted from "Foods of the Azores Islands" by Deolinda Maria Avila (Self-published, 1977) Makes 12 pastries Make sure the pastry ingredients are well chilled and the custard ingredients are at room temperature.

Sun, 02 May 2004 20:38:06 -0400

This is one of the most delicious puddings I have ever ate in my whole life, and what I love most about it is that it's extremely easy! It does not require special techniques :o) The only thing tricky about it is removing it from it's pan without breaking it... But after a while, you'll end up developing your own little tricks. I hope that anyone that tries this recipe enjoys it as much as I do! -- posted by Zininha

Portuguese Poached Meringue - Pudim Molokov

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 11:35:37 -0500

From Betty Crocker's International Cooking. Bake this in a bundt pan. It is light, and pretty. Have your eggs at room temperature for best results when mixing. I included an apricot sauce to serve over it, but it is tasty with homeade cranberry sauce as well. Use your leftover egg yolks to make noodles!! -- posted by Krsi Sue

Torta De Laranja ( Orange Torte )

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 16:14:25 -0400

A rather unique twist on a jelly-roll - no flour & no filling. It's described as a rolled pudding rather than a rolled sponge cake & it makes it's own filling. Clever little torte ... Once baked, this pudding will be slightly less than 1/2-inch in height and very fragile. Found on a website with recipes from Portugal. Cook time does not include 3-4 hours standing time (the torta, not you ;-) so plan ahead. Posted for Zaar World Tour 2006. -- posted by SusieQusie

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:48:30 -0400

Apricot Sauce

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:49:02 -0400

This is a wonderful, golden sauce, served over meringues in Portugal. Actually, it is good over almost anything. Another treasure from Jean Anderson's "Food of Portugal" Most of the time is totally passive--soaking time for the fruit. -- posted by Chef Kate

Queijadas De Sintra (Portuguese Cheese Tarts With Cinnamon)

Fri, 25 May 2007 12:01:18 -0400

Portuguese towns and cities alike are incredibly proud of their traditional sweets and pastries. Sintra, a beautiful hill town not far outside of Lisbon, is understandably proud of this recipe. It is believed that this recipe dates from the 14th Century! The actual recipe is, understandably, a close-guarded ages old secret, but this is a close approximation that I found on the internet. I visited Sintra a few years ago and was amazed at how wonderful these tarts tasted! These keep longer than most pastries if stored in an airtight container. (I'm not too sure of the yield - what I have provided is an approximation). -- posted by Shannon W.

These custard tarts are absolutely delicious! I got this recipe off allrecipes, submitted by John J. Pacheco, and wanted to put it here for safe keeping. Hope he doesn't mind.

Tue, 05 May 2009 16:52:40 -0400

Recipe by David Leite (found on Leite's Culinaria...great site for Portuguese cuisine! It's very entertaining to read Leite's recipes...he has a fun, witty way of describing the cooking processes!). This torte is made with no flour, making it very moist and dense supposedly this is just the way the Portuguese like it! To decorate it, the chef recommends sprinkling on a bit of confectioners' sugar or spooning on some preserves and whipped cream. -- posted by FolkDiva

Pinchos De Frutas (Fruit Brochettes)

Wed, 06 May 2009 00:43:15 -0400

Simple, healthy, and lovely dessert from Top Tour of Spain site posted for ZWT5. Amounts for brown sugar were vague so I guessed at what they meant. What does little brown sugar or 1 glass of single cream mean? If someone else can clarify especially the cream amount, zmail me. Feel free to use whatever fruit you have on hand. Notice how you can grill it outside or under your broiler. No time was given for how long to grill it so think it might be 2 minutes? -- posted by WiGal

Portuguese Coconut-Custard Tarts (Pastéis De Coco)

Wed, 06 May 2009 16:40:26 -0400

A decadent Portuguese dessert from Leites Culinaria posted for ZWT5. Step 8 bothers me a bit. If you stir it while it is in the oven, you must have to not stir it the last 5 minutes or so-so that it can brown? Just not use to stirring my baked goods, I guess. If someone wishes to clarify this, zmail me. -- posted by WiGal
