Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut in butter until mixture resemblescoarse meal. Add liquid ingredients with fork and stir until dough leavessides of bowl.) Flatten dough into a circle. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour. On lightly floured board, roll out pastry to an 11-inch circle. Transfer dough to a 9 or 9 1/2-inch tart pan. Trim edges and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Make Brown Butter Filling. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar, then whisk into flour. In a 10-inch skillet heat the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until butter has turned a golden brown color, stirring occasionally. Be careful that butter does not burn. Whisk butter and vanilla into egg mixture until smooth.
