You’ll master all of these in this hands-on baking class, guided step by step by your expert instructor. From preparing the silky custard to shaping and baking the dough, you’ll learn the centuries-old process behind this traditional recipe, staying refreshed as you work with a selection of drinks like soda and juice. The reward comes straight from the oven: soft, caramelized centers surrounded by crisp layers of laminated pastry shell that shatter in your mouth with each bite. They pair beautifully with coffee and tea as well as our best Porto wine. You’ll leave with a true appreciation for this beloved Portuguese tradition as well as the confidence and skill to recreate your own tarts at home whenever you wish. ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/18f21066-5e8e-4be4-9a8e-91a7e257b800/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/96ba52ac-4e31-4ef8-98d2-27deafdf5900/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/bec73f27-e32b-4f4c-35ae-a2d71bba1100/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/3455cf7e-4db0-4d0f-e65a-95f7f831e500/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/90aa156e-eb7c-464a-f194-c75fe3750d00/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/18f21066-5e8e-4be4-9a8e-91a7e257b800/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/96ba52ac-4e31-4ef8-98d2-27deafdf5900/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/bec73f27-e32b-4f4c-35ae-a2d71bba1100/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/3455cf7e-4db0-4d0f-e65a-95f7f831e500/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/90aa156e-eb7c-464a-f194-c75fe3750d00/thumb) ## Schedule * ### Dough Preparing the puff pastry shell * ### Custard Whipping and folding the traditional egg-based cream * ### Baking Using a custom mold that gives the pastry its classic shape * ### Pastel de nata tasting Paired with the drink of your choice ## What sets this experience apart * Personalized instruction from a professional baker * Creating Portuguese pastel de nata in a private kitchen reserved exclusively for your group * Porto wine, coffee, and tea to enjoy with your freshly baked tarts ## Meeting Point Your private culinary instructor will be waiting for you inside Homecooking Lisbon in Travessa da Verbena. ## FAQs Are you able to accommodate different dietary restrictions?
