Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until sandy. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes until just set. It should be light golden, not brown.
- Prepare the filling: Whisk together the corn syrup, eggs, and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the pecans and a pinch of salt for balance.
- Pour the filling over the crust: Spread it evenly and put it back in the oven.
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and slightly bubbly around the edges.
- Cool completely at room temperature before slicing into squares.
Notes
Best served with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Can also be drizzled with chocolate sauce.
