Preparation

Pastry:

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse to combine the flour, walnuts, brown sugar and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk egg yolk with water and, with motor running, pour into flour mixture. Blend for 10 seconds.

Press dough into a 2-inch (5 cm) deep, 8-inch (20 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom, or a deep-dish 9-inch (23 cm) glass pie plate. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

Filling:

Combine sugar with cornstarch. Beat eggs in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the sugar mixture, corn syrup, butter and vanilla extract. Sprinkle walnuts over prepared pastry. Spoon filling evenly over top. Place a sheet of aluminium foil on the lower oven rack. Place the tart on foil and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until crust is golden and centre is slightly jiggly. Cool before slicing.
