I like to eat these at Café Lisboa, a tiny Portuguese café on Portobello Road in London. I was delighted to discover that they are easily made at home. The trick for the authentic light and layered pastry is to coil it up like a Swiss roll, then roll it out.

I made Pandan Custard Tarts for my Oriental-themed Afternoon Tea.
