When we left Texas to head north, a neighbor gave me pecans from his trees. Iâm happy to send these nutty squares back to him, and heâs happy to get them. Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened |
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
filling: |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed |
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar |
1/3 cup honey |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups chopped pecans, toasted |
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring or vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 13x9-in. baking pan with parchment paper, letting ends extend up sides of pan. In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour. Press into prepared pan. Bake 16-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the first six filling ingredients; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in pecans and maple flavoring. Pour over crust.
3. Bake 10-15 minutes or until bubbly. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Lifting with parchment paper, transfer to a cutting board; cut into bars. Yield: 2 dozen.
