Instructions

1 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter,
confectioners’ sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt at medium speed until creamy, 1 to 2
minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add 1 egg yolk; beat until well
combined. Beat in ¼ teaspoon vanilla.
2 In a medium bowl, whisk together flours. With mixer on low speed, gradually add
flour mixture to butter mixture, beating just until a dough forms.
3 Spray 8 (2½x-9/10 inch) fluted round tart pans with baking spray with flour;
place on a rimmed baking sheet.
4 Divide dough into 8 portions, and shape into balls. Press 1 dough ball into
bottom and up sides of 1 prepared tart pan; trim any excess dough. Repeat with
remaining dough and remaining tart pans.
5 In another medium bowl, whisk together remaining 3 egg yolks.
6 In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup water, granulated sugar, evaporated milk,
remaining ½ teaspoon vanilla, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook over medium
heat until steaming and sugar dissolves. Gradually whisk sugar mixture into egg
yolks until well combined.
7 Position oven rack in bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.
8 Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large liquid-measuring cup or wide-mouthed
pitcher. Strain egg yolk mixture through prepared sieve; discard any solids.
Divide strained mixture among prepared crusts.
9 Bake until crust is lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating pan halfway
through baking. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F, and bake just until edges of
filling start to puff, about 5 minutes more. With oven still on, open oven door
about 2 inches; bake until filling is set, a wooden pick inserted in center
stands up straight, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers
at least 175°F, 5 to 7 minutes more. Let cool in pans for 15 minutes. Remove
from pans, and serve warm or at room temperature.
