  • Cooking spray for greasing baking dish

For The Crust:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting

For The Filling:

  • 3/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over the sides for an easy lift.

  • To prepare the crust, beat the butter at room temperature with granulated sugar and salt until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until a crumbly dough forms. If the dough appears too dry, add a splash of water to reach the right moisture level. Sprinkle some flour on your hands and press the dough evenly into the pan.
