Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure the butter is cold and cubed for the best texture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and powdered sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and add the egg yolk along with vanilla extract. Mix gently until the dough starts to form.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your tart pan.
Transfer it carefully to the pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
Let it cool completely before adding your desired filling.
