Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour and salt until just combined. Press dough into prepared tart pan and puncture the tart with a fork. Place in freezer for at least 10 minutes. This lets the dough rest and will help it hold its shape while baking. Place a piece of parchment paper over the tart shell and fill with pie weights, dry beans or rice. Place in oven for 10-15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden brown and set. Carefully remove the parchment paper from the pie and place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes until center of tart is golden brown.* Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
