Preparation
For crust
Mix together dry ingredients. Cut butter into dry ingredients. Add beaten egg and mix well. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until mixture holds together. Use a rolling pin to roll dough out to approximately 1-1/4 times the size of a tart pan with removable bottom. Place dough in pan and finish edges.
For filling
Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla and orange peel. Mix thoroughly. Place nuts in the crust and pour egg mixture over the nuts until it reaches the edges of the tart pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until the center is set and the tart is a nice golden brown. Let cool completely before removing from pan.
