Pastéis de nata
It is never too early in the day for enjoyment
In its home country, this typical Portuguese puff pastry is commonly enjoyed for breakfast. We're not blaming anyone, afterall these little pudding pies are simple too tasty to resist!
Also, maybe you want to bake this delicacy for Easter Sunday - a special day when you might stay in bed a little longer anyway, dreaming of heavenly beaches on the Atlantic coast, and get up just in time for afternoon coffee. Perfect! 😉
