Method
Pastry: In large bowl, whisk flour wit salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter and lard until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger pieces.
In separate bowl, whisk together egg yolk, ice water and sour cream; drizzle over flour mixture, tossing with fork to form ragged dough and adding up to 1 tsp more ice water if necessary. Shape into disc; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to days or freeze for up to 1 month.)
On lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to generous 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Using 3 3/4-inch (10 cm) round cutter, cut out 12 rounds, rerolling scraps as necessary. Press 1 round into each well of 12-count muffin pan. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
Filling: While dough is chilling, in bowl, beat together pumpkin, cream, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Divide among pastry shells.
Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until filling is set and slightly puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Remove from pan. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
Garnish: In bowl, beat cream with icing sugar until stiff peaks form; spoon 4 tsp onto each tart. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: This recipe uses all but a small amount of one can of pumpkin purée. Use the leftovers to make our No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes for Two.
