Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in 3/4 cup of softened butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan to form a crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  4. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.

  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pecan halves.

  6. Pour the pecan mixture over the baked crust, spreading it out evenly.

  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set.

  8. Allow the Butter Pecan Pie Squares to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving.
