Add egg and vanilla. Then mix together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients and milk to butter and sugar mixture alternately, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on a floured board. Using 2/3 of the rolled dough, line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pan. Reserve 1/3 dough for top of tart. Fill with Vanilla Custard. Vanilla Custard: In a saucepan, combine flour, 1/3 cup sugar and salt. Add enough milk to make a paste. Slowly stir in remaining milk. Place over medium heat.

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add vanilla, nutmeg and butter. Stir approximately 5 minutes while cooling. Pour into prepared crust. Decorate top with 1/2 inch strips of remaining dough, making a lattice weave. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
