I was surprised and happy to see a link to my recipe for Queijadas de Sintra (The Age article)... I think it's the first time I've seen it mentioned on the web. Thanks!!

As with many traditional Portuguese sweets with "secret" recipes, many of the home recipes you can find on the web are not particularly close to the real thing. The queijadas recipes are often that way, and even more so the recipes for pastéis de nata... I worked long and hard on both the queijada recipe and my pastéis de nata recipe.

Anyway, back to the queijadas... yours (per the pic) are from the very famous Piriquita, near the palace, but many people prefer the ones from the shop a few hundred metres down the road towards the low town (I think it's called João Preto or something similar?).
