Those little tasty Portuguese egg tarts (Pastéis de nata)

Pastéis de nata (Portuguese egg tarts) are one of our favourite Portuguese pastries. During our last visit to Portugal we tried to find a recipe so we could finally have a go at making them. They didn't come out as desired and they don't look like the real thing, because we had to make a few changes due to the items available in our pantry. But they still tasted delicious, and we will definitely make them again.

The recipe we followed is in Youtube in Portuguese, but it should be clear enough to follow. We only made half of the recipe, and because we didn't have caster sugar, we used light brown sugar instead, and reduced the amount by 50 grams. They were still very sweet.
