Ingredients:All-Purpose Flour, Granulated Sugar, Brown Sugar, Unsalted Butter,Eggs, Corn Syrup, Pecans
Practice:
1.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, then line it with parchment paper or foil. Whisk to combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir together with a fork. Use clean hands to mix and knead the dough together.
2.Place the shortbread crust dough in the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to press it into a thin, even layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
3.While the shortbread crust bakes, make the pecan filling. Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
4.Sift in the ⅓ cup flour and whisk to combine.
5.Add the chopped pecans and mix once more.
6.When the crust comes out of the oven, pour the pecan pie mixture onto it while it’s still hot. Smooth out any piles of pecans so they are distributed evenly. Return the pan to the oven and cook for about 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown, puffed, and appears dry. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the pecan bars to cool completely. Then, chill the bars for 30-60 minutes before cutting for the cleanest cuts.
