Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, sugar, and salt until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Cooking
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes until it starts to set.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, corn syrup, packed brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Pour the pecan mixture over the pre-baked crust and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and edges are slightly browned.
Cooling and Serving
- Let the bars cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before slicing.
- Carefully lift the bars from the pan and cut them into squares or rectangles for serving.
- Serve alone or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent experience.
