Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

Filling

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

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.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients for the crust are cold.
