Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups light or dark corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and finely chopped pecans.
  3. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles wet sand.
  4. Sprinkle the crust mixture evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 baking dish, patting down firmly to create an even layer.
  5. Bake the crust for 18 to 22 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and salt. Add the eggs and vanilla, stirring until well combined.
  7. Gradually whisk in both the corn syrup and maple syrup until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
  8. Pour the filling over the hot crust immediately after it comes out of the oven.
  9. Bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted one inch from the edge comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely and refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week.
