- In a bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer. Add the egg yolks one at a time and mix until smooth. Using a wooden spoon, add the dry ingredients. The mixture will be crumbly. With the tips of your fingers, press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
