Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter cold
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of an 11x7x1½-inch baking pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • While the crust bakes, stir together the eggs, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla in another bowl until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture over the hot crust, spreading it evenly. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  • Let the bars cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares or bars to serve.
