Pecan Pie Squares
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Spray a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan with a thin layer of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
4
Combine 1 cup of flour, half a cup of sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing container.
5
Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the 1 cup of butter into the dry ingredients until they resemble coarse, uneven pieces.
6
Spread the mixture evenly across the prepared pan and press it firmly into place to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
7
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together corn syrup, one and a half cups of sugar, eggs, three tablespoons of melted butter, and a few drops of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
8
Stir in some chopped pecans to add texture; then, spread the filling evenly over the baked crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.
9
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and has reached your desired consistency, approximately 25 minutes.
10
Once done, allow the entire dish to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting it into bars.
