Pecan Pie Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Whisk the flour, powdered sugar and salt in a large bowl then drizzle in the melted butter and stir together with a fork. Use your clean hands to crumble together and mix then dump into your prepared baking dish and press down into a level layer. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until just turning a light golden color at the edge.

Step 3

While the shortbread base bakes combine the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla and corn syrup in a large bowl then whisk together until smooth. Sift in the ⅓ cup flour and mix until combined then add the roughly chopped pecans and mix once more.

Step 4

When the crust comes out of the oven pour the pecan pie topping over it and smooth out any piles of pecans then bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until the center is just set.

Step 5

Allow to cool and then chill slightly before cutting in order to get nice clean pieces.
