pecan pie bars

Cost: $

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons good quality bourbon I used Four Roses
  • 1 1/4 cups pecans halves and pieces mixed
  • Pastry for single crust pie 9"

Instructions

  • Line pie tin with crust, flute edges and set aside.For BARS: Use a 8x8 square or 10x6 rectangular pan
  • Preheat oven to 425
  • In a bowl, mix the eggs and corn syrups until smooth
  • Add the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and bourbon
  • Stir in the pecans and pour into the pie shell.
  • Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 and bake for 20 minutes additional, or until the edges are set but the center still "quivers" a bit.
  • Do not over bake.
  • Note: the pecans rise to the surface as the pie bakes.
