Method
Crust Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Crust Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Prepare the Baking Dish
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Filling Preparation
Mix Filling Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of corn syrup, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
Add Pecans
Stir in 1.5 cups of chopped pecans until they are evenly coated with the filling mixture.
Pour Filling Over Crust
Pour the pecan filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Pecan Squares
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly browned.
Cooling and Serving
Cool
Once baked, remove the pecan squares from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.
Cut and Serve
Once completely cooled, cut into squares and serve as desired.
