Ingredients
24 Servings
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g brown sugar
- 225 g butter
- 240 ml corn syrup
- 3 eggs
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 300 g pecans
- 5 ml vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and brown sugar. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Step 3
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 4
While the crust is baking, prepare the pecan filling. In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Step 5
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add the hot sugar mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Step 7
Pour the pecan mixture over the baked crust. Spread evenly.
Step 8
Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the filling is set.
Step 9
Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
