Préparation
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients before you begin.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and room-temperature butter until you achieve a crumbly texture.
  4. Press the buttery flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. Bake this base in the oven for about 15 minutes until it is lightly golden.
Making the Filling
  1. While the crust is baking, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the chopped pecans until they are well coated.
Baking
  1. Once the crust is cooled slightly, pour the pecan filling mixture over the baked crust and spread it evenly.
  2. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly.
  3. After baking, remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely before cutting.
Serving
  1. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into squares and serve on a beautiful platter.
  2. Best enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
