Prep. Time:

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine -- cut up
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter or margarine
4 large eggs -- lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl; cut in 3/4 cup butter thoroughly with a pastry blender until mixture resembles very fine crumbs. Press mixture evenly into a greased 13x9" pan, using a piece of plastic wrap to press crumb mixture firmly in pan. Bake at 350º for 17-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 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 350º for 34-35 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
Yield: 16 large bars
Stacy's Notes - I made these for Thanksgiving 2003. They came out very over-done and burned on the edges. I am not sure if it's my faulty oven, or the recipe has too long of a cook time, when you consider crust plus filling. The insides were good, I cut them out and they were tasty for several days. But the outside portion was burned and had to be thrown away. Next time, try them at 325 for a shorter amount of time.
