Pastel de Nata - Portugal
Pastel de Nata is a Portuguese specialty that comes in the form of a small, round pastry filled with custard and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar on top. The base is made of flaky Portuguese puff pastry filled with a creamy egg custard, and it's baked until the top is slightly browned. You can attempt to make it at home if you want, but honestly, it's the kind of treat worth crossing oceans for.
