📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar, salt, and butter and cream together on medium speed just until combined (⏱️ 2-3 minutes), scraping down the bowl as needed.
2
Add egg yolk and vanilla and beat until incorporated, scraping down the bowl as needed.

3
Add flour and mix on low speed until the flour is fully incorporated and dough comes together (⏱️ 1 minute). Transfer dough to a clean work surface and shape the dough into a flat disk. Press the dough into an 11-inch or 10-inch round tart pan. The dough should be about 1/4” thick on the bottom and sides of the pan.
4
Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the corners squarely. Flatten the finished top edge with your fingertips or trim the top edge with a paring knife so it sits flush in line with the top of the tart pan (I repurpose any scraps by patching any thin-looking areas). Cover with plastic wrap and freeze ⏱️ 30 minutes while you preheat the oven.
5
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Set the tart pan over a baking sheet to make it easier to transfer and Bake at 350˚F in the center of the oven for ⏱️ 25-28 minutes or until golden brown then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6
Once the dough is at room temperature, carefully remove the outer rim by pushing on the base of the mold. To release from the base, carefully insert a knife between the pan and the crust to release, moving around the edges of the pan until the base releases easily.
