Photo Credit: the comfort of cooking

Ingredients: 
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup butter or margarine, cut up
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup butter or margarine
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 ½ cups finely chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in large bowl; cut in ¾ cup butter thoroughly with a pastry blender until mixture resembles very fine crumbs. Press mixture evenly into a greased 13" x 9" pan, using a piece of plastic wrap to press crumb mixture firmly in pan. Bake at 350° for 17 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  2. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and ½ cup butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently. Remove from heat. Stir one-fourth of hot mixture into beaten eggs; add to remaining hot mixture. Stir in pecans and vanilla. Pour filling over crust. Bake at 350° for 34 to 35 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack, about 2-3 hours. Cut into bars.
