INGREDIENTS
* 1 cup confectioners' sugar
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup butter
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 dash vanilla extract
*
* 2/3 cup white sugar
* 1 1/2 cups water
* 9 eggs, beaten
* 1 dash vanilla extract
* 1 cup canned evaporated milk
DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and flour. Mix in butter with a fork until it is in small crumbs. Stir in the egg and vanilla until the mixture forms a dough. The texture should be slightly moist. Add more butter if it is too dry, or more flour, if the dough seems greasy. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides. Use 2 fingers to shape the edge into an A shape.
2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine the white sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain the eggs through a sieve, and whisk into the sugar mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla. Strain the filling through a sieve, and fill the tart shells.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown, and the filling is puffed up a little bit.

This recipe for Apple Cheese Phyllo Tart serves/makes 6
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla, fruit liquor, or brandy
1 tablespoon flour
5 ounces brown butter
1 Tart shell
Fresh or frozen fruit
Directions:
Lightly whisk eggs in medium sized bowl. Whisk in sugars, salt and vanilla.
Stir in flour. Mixture will be slightly lumpy. Slowly pour brown butter into mixture, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.
Fill a pre-baked tart shell approximately 1/3 of the way full with brown butter. Place fruit in the shell in any fashion you choose. Just remember that fruit shrinks, so don't be afraid to overstuff the tart shell with fruit. If the brown butter starts getting too close to the top edge of the shell, simply siphon some off.
While it bakes, it will puff somewhat and if filled too high it may spill over and you will have trouble getting the shell out of the pan and end up with a messy looking tart.
Bake for 25-60 minutes depending on the size of the tart and the type of fruit (peaches, apples and plums will take longer to cook than raspberries and blueberries). You will know that the tart is cooked through when you take a knife and gently cut into the tart and the brown butter filling looks puffed and dry.
Glaze the tart with strained apricot jam or dust with powdered sugar.
