There’s no more southern of a dessert than Pecan Pie, but I wanted to make something I could pack easily in lunches. The solution? Pecan Pie Bars. They were quick and easy and almost as good as the real thing.
Pecan Pie Bars
Crust
Combine the following in a bowl until well mixed and then spread on the bottom of a 9/13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of icing sugar (powdered/confectioners sugar)
1 cup of butter
Filling
Cream together:
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
Add:
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 stick of butter (melted)
a pinch of salt
2 cups of pecans
When well mixed, pour over the baked crust and put back in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
