- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, cut into small pieces
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 large egg
- 4 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press flour mixture evenly into bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray, using a piece of plastic wrap to press mixture firmly into pan. Remove plastic wrap. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Combine brown sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently.
- Combine egg and egg whites in a medium bowl. Stir one-fourth warm syrup mixture into eggs; add to remaining warm syrup mixture. Stir in pecans and vanilla. Pour mixture over crust.
- Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until set (the filling will puff up as it bakes but will deflate as it becomes set). Remove from oven; cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
