History

These pastries were originally created and made before the 18th century by Catholic monks at the Jerónimos Monastery in a local parish of Lisbon called Belém. At the time, convents and monasteries used large quantities of egg-whites for starching of clothes, such as nuns' 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.

The most famous Portuguese Bakery still in operation today is the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém. 

Since 1837, locals and visitors to Lisbon have visited the bakery to purchase fresh from the oven pastéis, sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar. They are so popular there are long lines at the take-away counters, in addition to waiting lines for sit-down service.

Now, they can be purchased in many places all over the world, in bakeries, and sold in many hotels etc.
