Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup salted butter (melted)
- 2 cups roughly chopped pecans
- ½ cup salted butter (melted)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup light corn syrup (or honey)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar (packed)
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C), or 160°C for a fan oven. And spray a 9x9 baking pan with baking spray and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and melted butter. Fold until a dough forms.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool while you prepare the pecan filling.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, corn syrup, and brown sugar until combined. Fold in the pecans last.
- Pour the filling on top of the shortbread crust and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before trying to remove and cut.
