Instructions
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake the Crust: Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir in the pecans until evenly distributed.
-
Assemble & Bake: Pour the filling mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden.
-
Cool & Slice: Let the bars cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
-
For a richer flavor, you can substitute maple syrup for the light corn syrup.
-
Make sure the crust is firm before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
