Ingredients

Units Scale

For the crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into cubes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the pan and bake for 18–20 minutes.
  3. Make the filling: Whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in pecans. Pour over the hot crust.
  4. Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes until set. Cool in the pan, then slice into bars.

Notes

  • Bars slice best when chilled.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
