Ingredients
Crust
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar

Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- For the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the pecan filling evenly over the partially baked crust.
- Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
