Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious Pecan Pie Bars:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until combined.
4. Press the Crust: Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
5. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the corn syrup, baking powder, and chopped pecans until well combined.
6. Add the Filling: Pour the pecan mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
8. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
9. Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
