- Mix to make a soft dough.
- Wrap in plastic wrap.
- Put in refrigerator to chill.
- Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Split the vanilla bean lengthwise.
- Scrape out the inner seed mass.
- Add the seed mass and the bean to the milk.
- Heat the milk.
- Bring to a simmer.
- Remove from heat.
- Let the vanilla infuse the milk with flavor.
- In a medium to large bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, and egg yolks.
- Pour the hot milk into the egg mixture and whisk.
- Remove the vanilla bean pod.
- Line six 4-inch fluted tart tins (ramekins are too deep) with the sweet pastry by dividing the pastry into six portions and using your fingers to press out and line the tins.
- Place the tart tins on a baking sheet and then fill with the vanilla filling.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
