A Portuguese pastry appreciation post! This is a travesseiro de Sintra, which Google translate tells me means "pillow" of Sintra. (Sintra is a city about 40 mins outside of Lisbon with lots of historic palaces). This travesseiro is from Casa Piriquita, which I'm told is the inventor of this pastry, which has a rough puff kinda dough (or like a stronger filo, layered) and an eggy almond custard filling that's slightly runny, perhaps because we got them fresh out of the oven. The whole thing is dusted in caster sugar. It's glorious, and dare I say I like it even more than the iconic pastéis de nata/Belém. It's very hard to find outside of Sintra, even within Portugal, which will make it extra delicious in mind, LOL.
