Ingredients
- Crust
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup butter - 3/4 cup softened, 1/4 cup melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Filling
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups corn syrup
- 3 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 3 cups chopped pecans
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan (like a 15x10x1 pan) with aluminum foil and then spray with non-stick spray.
Cream together 3/4 cup butter and sugar until blended. On low speed, add flour and salt. Slowly add melted butter. Press firmly into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Using a whisk or mixer, blend all the filling ingredients, except the pecans, until well blended. Then, add the pecans.
*** Because I can't leave well enough alone, I added a package of Heath Toffee Bits and half a bag of mini chocolate chips. Couldn't hurt, right?
Pour mixture over the baked crust and bake an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Allow to cool completely, at least 1 hour.
Cut into desired shaped - bars, triangles, etc.
