Thanksgiving Pecan Bars

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a 13×9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick baking spray, or butter well.

Blend flour, sugar, salt, and butter with a pastry blender or in a food processor until crumbly. Add the cold water and mix with a fork to form a cohesive dough.

Press dough into the bottom of the baking pan to form the crust. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes (until golden brown).

In a stand mixer (I used hand mixer and that also worked, just make sure to use a large bowl), add butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium speed about 3 minutes until creamy.

Add corn syrup, flour, and pecans and mix on low until just combined.

Spread filling over crust with spatula. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes (or until bubbling), and cool in the pan.

Once cool, remove by picking up the foil out of the pan. Cut bars.
