steps
- 1.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice-cold water. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- 3.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough into a circle and line an 8-inch tart pan. Trim any excess dough.
- 4.
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- 5.
Return the custard mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- 6.
Pour the custard into the prepared tart shell and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the custard is set. Let it cool completely.
- 7.
Sprinkle the tart with icing sugar just before serving. Slice and enjoy this creamy vanilla surprise!
