For the Natas

Method

Making the Natas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Allow to cool slightly, then add to the flour mixture along with the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

  2. 2

    Chill the Dough

    Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.

  3. 3

    Shape the Natas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Press each circle into a greased muffin tin to form small cups.

  4. 4

    Fill and Bake

    Pour a small amount of the remaining batter into each dough cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top of each. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.

  5. 5

    Cool the Natas

    Remove the natas from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Assembling the Bowls

  1. 6

    Prepare the Yogurt Base

    In a bowl, scoop 1 cup of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each serving bowl.

  2. 7

    Layer the Toppings

    Top the yogurt with 1/4 cup of granola, followed by a generous portion of fresh berries. Drizzle each bowl with a tablespoon of honey.

  3. 8

    Finish with Nuts

    Sprinkle a handful of chopped nuts on top of each bowl for added texture and flavor.

  4. 9

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the bowls alongside the freshly baked natas for a delightful and satisfying meal.
