How to make it
- For crust: Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor.

- Add 2 1/2 tablespoons water, egg yolk and vanilla.
- Blend until moist clumps form, adding more water by 1/2 tablespoonfuls if dry.
- Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill at least 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Let soften slightly before rolling out.)
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13- to 14-inch round.
- Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom.
- Cut dough overhang to 3/4 inch; fold overhang in and press, forming sides that extend 1/4 inch above top of pan.
