Cooking instruction summary:
Begin by preparing the crust.In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a medium bowl with a hand mixer, combine the butter and sugar and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla, and salt and beat on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.Add the flour and mix on low until the flour is absorbed, then increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough clumps on the paddle, about 20 seconds.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 10 times, or until the dough forms a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.While the dough chills prepare the filling.In the same work bowl you used to prepare the crust add the pecan paste, sugar, butter, flour, and egg. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds then turn the mixer up to medium high and beat until the mixture is lighter in color, about 1 minute.Heat the oven to 375F.Once chilled pull the dough out of the refrigerator and let stand for 5 minutes to warm up. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to -inch thick, about a 14-inch circle, turning the dough often to make sure it does not stick.

Once you line the tart pan remove any excess dough by rolling your rolling pin gently across the top of the pan.Spread the pecan filling evenly inside the tart pan.
