Script error: No such module "Lang". tarts are pastries inspired by an original recipe called Script error: No such module "Lang"., which were created before the 18th century by Catholic monks at the Jerónimos Monastery in the civil parish of Saint Mary of Bethlehem, in Lisbon.[3] At the time, convents and monasteries used large quantities of egg-whites for starching clothes, such as friars and nuns' religious habits. It was quite common for monasteries and convents to use the leftover egg yolks to make cakes and pastries, resulting in the proliferation of sweet pastry recipes throughout the country.
In the aftermath of the Liberal Revolution of 1820, following the dissolution of religious orders and in the face of the impending closure of many convents and monasteries, the monks started selling Script error: No such module "Lang". at a nearby sugar refinery to bring in revenue. In 1834, the monastery was closed and the recipe sold to the sugar refinery, whose owners opened the Script error: No such module "Lang". in 1837. The descendants own the business to this day.[4]
Since the opening of Script error: No such module "Lang"., the original recipe that inspired Script error: No such module "Lang". varieties is kept in a secret room. The Script error: No such module "Lang". is, therefore, the only place in the world that produces the original pastry that inspired many variations commonly known as "Script error: No such module "Lang"."; the shop is located just a short three-minute walk from the Jerónimos Monastery.[5] The shop offers both takeout and sit-in services and sells over 20,000 pastéis a day.[6] The tart is often sprinkled with canela (cinnamon).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In 2009 The Guardian listed Script error: No such module "Lang". as one of the 50 "best things to eat" in the world.[7] In 2011, following the result of a public vote, the pastry was announced as one of Portugal's Seven Wonders of Gastronomy, further cementing it as one of the country's most popular national dishes.[8]
