Step 1

Put a baking sheet on middle rack of oven and preheat to 375°F. Mix crust ingredients in mixer at low speed until a dough forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Press 1/3 cup dough onto bottom and up side of each tart pan, making sides slightly thicker. Chill.

Step 2

Whisk together eggs, sugar, butter, corn syrups, bourbon, vanilla, and salt.
