Pecan Bars

From Liz Cowan dear friend Leslie Ison, a fantastic cook. These are so good!

Crust:

2 cups flour

1⁄2 cup sugar

1/8 t. salt

3⁄4 cup butter

Mix flour, sugar and salt. Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter. Press into a 9x13-

inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for exactly 15 minutes.

Filling:

1⁄2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

4 eggs

2 1⁄2 cups chopped pecans

1 t. vanilla

In a saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar and corn syrup until sugar is

dissolved. Whip eggs; add pecans and vanilla. Mix brown sugar and pecan

mixtures together. Pour over the crust. Bake at 350o for exactly 30 minutes. 

Cool completely before cutting into 1 1⁄2” x 3” bars. They could also be cut into 1-inch

bars and put in candy papers.
