0 of 6 steps complete

1. 1Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square metal pan with parchment. Mix flour, powdered sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt, then stir in ½ cup melted butter.
2. 2Press crust mixture evenly into the pan. Bake for 18–20 minutes until lightly golden at the edges.
3. 3Whisk eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, cooled ¼ cup butter, vanilla and remaining salt until smooth. Fold in pecans.
4. 4Pour filling over the hot crust and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes until filling is set with only a slight center wobble and reaches at least 160°F. Tent with foil if pecans brown too quickly.
5. 5Cool on a rack for about 1 hour, then refrigerate within 2 hours of baking until fully firm, about 2 hours more. Lift out and cut into 16 bars.
6. 6Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze well wrapped for up to 2 months. Let portions stand for 10 minutes before serving.
