The pastel de Tentúgal is a convent pastry from the Coimbra region, created in the 16th century by Carmelite nuns: a very thin dough, stretched by hand in the traditional way, rolled around a cream of egg yolks and sugar, then dusted with icing sugar. At Wooly Pâtisserie it costs €7.90 each.
The pastel de Tentúgal comes from the village of Tentúgal, near Coimbra. The Carmelite nuns of the local convent are said to have created it in the 16th century, and the recipe has been handed down from generation to generation.
What makes it special is the dough: a very thin dough, stretched by hand over a large table until it is almost transparent, in the traditional way. It is then rolled around a cream of egg yolks and sugar and dusted with icing sugar.
Enjoy it with coffee or tea, in the afternoon or after a meal. For the full story, read our article on the pastel de Tentúgal.
