Roll the puff pastry and slice it in 12 pieces.
Grease your molds, and put a piece of pastry in each of them (as shown in the video). Press on it with your fingers to spread the dough in the mold.
Put 2/3 cup of milk to heat with the lemon peel. Mix the flour with the milk that is left (1/3 cup). Once the milk starts to boil, add the milk+flour mix, and stir constantly using a whisk. The mix should thicken in a few minutes.
Pour this batter in a strainer to take the lemon peel and the clots out. Put the water and the sugar to heat in a pot.
Once it starts to boil, leave it for 4 minutes. Then, pour in a thin stream on the milk cream, while stirring. Leave to cool down for a few minutes.
Finally add the egg yolks and stir well. Pour this batter into each mold, without reaching the rim.
Bake 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C)
There you are, your Pasteis de Nata are ready! You can sprinkle them with cinnamon!

Turned out really good. I had to add cream to the milk batter as it got too thick and added one more egg yolk.
