In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the melted butter and egg, then knead until a smooth dough forms.
Roll out the dough and place it in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Prick it with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
Pre-bake the crust at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let it cool.
In a saucepan, melt the brown sugar over low heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth.
Simmer the caramel for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens. Pour it over the pre-baked crust.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until the caramel has set.
Cut into squares and serve the caramel squares chilled or at room temperature.
