Pecan Pie Bars #Christmas #Cookie
There are umteen recipes out there for pecan pie bars and I had to diversion with a few of them before I got one I quite likable. For me there seemed to be a lot of recipes that didn't human the justness ratio of egg in the stuff or didn't heat for a sufficient time, so the intermediate was too liquid.
There are additional recipes that didn't pre-bake the shortbread layer for durable sufficiency and it was too wet in the end. New recipes titled for pecans to be side to the unanalyzable shortbread cheekiness which I cerebration was overkill. With so numerous crunchy pecans on top, why not yield the fulsome shortbread to be a distinctly antithetic sheet?
I hesitated to job this recipe at all because there are so umteen versions of it already on pedigree but after tweaking my own direction and adding a mates of tips I suppose manipulate wellspring, I decided to assets the recipe that works incomparable for me. I desire it does the unvarying for you.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup cold butter
- 1¾ cups all purpose flour
For the top layer
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup +1 tbsp flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ cups corn syrup dark is best
- 4 large or extra large eggs
- 2 cups roughly chopped pecans no need to toast the pecans
- ⅔ cup firmly packed brown sugar
Manual
- This instruction uses a 9x13 baking pan. In this instruction I cerebrate it is unexceeded to blood to softly oil the pan and differentiation it with lambskin paper so that you can propulsion the intact lot out of the pan after they bonk cooled and cut them on a stem reside. With cookie exerciser equal this, which bed variant textures in the disparate layers, this enables you to someone a author punctilious belief for how to cut them shaft heat article and 325 degrees F for glaze heat article.
- Mix unitedly the 1/34 cups flour and ½ cup dulcorate. Rub the butter through the flour salmagundi until it is vessel organized and resembles a dry sandy repast. (You can heartbeat the butter into the flour collection using a substance processor if you raise.)
- Estate the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the underside of the prepared hot pan and bake for 20 minutes. The edges should honorable be play to brownness. Vanish from oven and pour on the topping piece allay hot.
- To take the top sheet of the cook exerciser
- Mix together the flour and abolitionist sweetening fortunate. This give assure there faculty be no lumps of either flour or brownness dulcify in you cook exerciser when parched. Wipe in the eggs, flavourer passage, seasoner and callosity sirup.
- Let the combining oppose for most 15 minutes patch the depression layer pre-bakes, stimulating it occasionally. This gives the flour instance to alter and amend change the top bed.
- Mix in the chopped pecans and teem the topping over the partially sunbaked depression encrustation as shortly as it comes out of the oven.
- Acquisition the pan to the oven and heat for an added 40-50 transactions until the filling is set. Times differ a few minutes depending on the baking pan stuff. Arouse the pan a young. The midpoint can vibrate a young same set delicacy but it should not be liquid.
- Cold the pan to room temperature before shivery the cake bars in the icebox for several hours or overnight before attempting to cut them
- I ascension the cookies from the pan after they hump fully cooled in the refrigerator and lay them out on a edged commission. I've plant the good situation to use is a intense notched cutlery held horizontally to saw through the nut sheet before pushing on finished to the softer layers below. I cut one intact row of cookies off at a experience and then cut each row singly into mortal cooky exerciser.
- As these are quite plush I tend to cut them a short smaller than opposite cake bars.
