🇵🇹 Portugal recipe
Travesseiros
The famous pillow-shaped pastries from the historic town of Sintra, where they have been made by the Piriquita bakery since 1862. Travesseiros are rectangles of impossibly flaky, shattering puff pastry wrapped around a rich, sweet filling of ground almonds, egg yolks, and sugar. Each bite delivers a cascade of buttery pastry shards and a luscious, marzipan-like centre.
