Whisk cream and yolks together in a small bowl. Either in a food processor with the blade fitted or a stand mixer with a dough hook, add the flour, sugar, salt and butter, and mix until crumbly. Add the cream-yolk mixture, a little at a time, until just combined. This should be achieved quickly, otherwise the gluten will develop and the pastry will be tough. Turn out, shape into a flattish disk and press together with your hands. The pastry will be fairly soft, so refrigerate the disk for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out a little over 0.5cm thick. Turn and flour the pastry occasionally to stop it sticking. Carefully lay over a 30cm/12", loose-bottomed tart case. The pastry will tear if you just lift it, so gently wrap it round your rolling pin to lift and unroll it over your tart case. Lift the edges of the pastry to ease it into the corners and press gently to completely and evenly fill the case. Roll your rolling pin over the edge to cleanly cut away the excess dough. Refrigerate for about an hour.
While the pastry is chilling, preheat the oven to 190c. Prick the bottom with a fork, line with baking paper or tin foil and weight down with baking beans or the bottom of a similarly sized tart case. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the pastry is set, then take out of the oven and remove the paper/foil and weights. Return to the oven and bake for a further 10-15 minutes (depending on your oven), until the pastry is golden. You may need to turn the pastry case once during baking to ensure it colours evenly. Cool on a wire rack.
