Directions:
Combine dry ingredients. Make a well to add yolk, butter, and vanilla. Quickly work together with hands until blended. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for one hour. Roll dough out to 1/8-inch thickness and place over oiled bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan. Trim off excess dough by running a rolling pin over the edge. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until light golden in color. Cool.

Butter sides of cake form and place over the base. Roll remaining dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut it to fit the sides of the oiled band. Bake in a very hot oven of 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.* Reduce temperature to 300 degrees and continue baking for one hour. Turn off oven and open door. Leave in the oven for 5 more minutes. Cool completely draft free for 2-3 hours.

When cool, run a knife around the edge carefully and remove sides of pan.

Leave in the oven for 5 more minutes. Cool completely draft free for 2-3 hours.”
