PECAN PIE BARS

  • Base:
  • 1 ¼ cups butter
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Mix the butter and sugar until light and creamy for about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs 1 at a time and mix well. Add the salt and baking powder and mix well.
Add the flour and mix well.
Spoon the mixture into a greased baking tray and make level – don’t go up the sides.
Bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes until set, but not browned.
Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.

  • Topping:
  • 250 g butter
  • ½ cup golden syrup (150 g)
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar (300 g)
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • 500 g pecan nuts, chopped into smaller pieces

Put the butter, syrup and brown sugar in a heavy based pot on a low heat until the butter and sugar is melted.
Turn up the heat and let it boil rapidly for 3 minutes whilst stirring – do not let it burn.
Remove from heat and stir in the cream and pecan jut pieces.
Spoon on top of the base and level. Bake for 30 minutes at 180°C.
Let it cool slightly before cutting. Refrigerate until serving.

Note:
I used my rusk pan with cutter.
I got 36 bars.
