Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Mix melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add flour and combine until it forms a dough.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
Pre-bake the crust for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
