2. Prepare pans for two dozen small tarts, each dusted with flour, then filled with a thin layer of pie dough. Then dust them also with flour.
3. Mix cream, milk, sugar, cornstarch, both beaten egg yolks and vanilla extract until sugar is dissolved; then pour this into the pie dough-filled tart tins until they are three-quarters full of this mixture.
4. Bake for twenty minutes or until cooked through, determined when toothpick into the center of a tart comes out clean.
5. Cool for ten minutes, then move the tarts to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve when desired, but do refrigerate if not within an hour.
