5 egg yolks
pinch of salt
120g caster sugar

Turn the pastry out onto a floured work surface and roll out until large enough to cover the base and sides of 8 or 10 lightly-buttered and floured tartlet tin wells.
Whisk the egg yolks with the salt in a bowl, then beat in the sugar and the cream. Spoon this filling mixture into the pastry cases and sprinkle a little ground cinnamon over each one.
