Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
• For the crust, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
• Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
• For the filling, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs and brown sugar until well combined.
• Stir in the corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
• Fold in the chopped pecans.
• Pour the filling evenly over the partially baked crust.
• Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown.
• Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
