Instructions
Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F
Combine flour, granulated sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl
1 ¾ cups flour,
½ cup granulated sugar,
¼ teaspoon salt
Cut in butter with your hands by rubbing the cubes of butter between your fingers along with the flour. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
¾ cup butter, salted
Place in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish
Press mixture firmly down into dish. I often use the bottom of a flat measuring cup to get an even surface
Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 15-18 minutes
Filling
While crust is baking, use the same bowl and combine brown sugar, flour, and salt.
⅔ cup brown sugar,
⅓ cup flour,
1 teaspoon salt
Mix in corn syrup, eggs and vanilla
1 cup corn syrup,
4 eggs,
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add chopped pecans
2 cups pecans
When crust comes out of the oven, pour filing over the hot crust
Return to oven and bake for 30-35 minutes
Allow pecan bars to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting
Notes
The bars are fully cooked when the edges are slightly browned and the center no longer jiggles
Allow bars to fully cool before cutting
Cut into any size you'd prefer. Make them as big or as small as you'd like.
