INGREDIENTS

  • Base crust

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧈 ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt

  • Filling

    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • ⅔ cup light brown sugar
    • 🧈 ¼ cup salted butter, melted
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 ¾ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup Golden Eagle syrup
    • 🌰 3 cups pecans, chopped

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Spray the parchment paper with baking spray.

2

Combine flour, butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse 6 or 7 times to combine. Transfer mixture to the lined pan and press into an even layer.

3

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack.

4

Combine eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in syrup until well combined. Stir in pecans. Pour over the still-warm shortbread crust.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and pull out using the parchment overhang. Slice into bars.
