Tip

This recipe was adapted from several other recipes, along with pleasurable experimentation & taste-testing (I had willing helpers!), plus some reminiscing by friends who have eaten the ‘real thing’ in Portugal!

    I made these tarts for part of our Father's Day breakfast this morning . I forgot to take photos before we started eating them but this is all that's left. They were soo easy to make and were really delicious. Even my son said they were nearly as good as shop tarts. Wish I had more time to make homemade pastry but all good with puff pastry.
