Time 1h5m

Yield 9 large or 16 small bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (65 grams) packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (168 grams) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup (150 grams) packed brown sugar
1/3 cup (114 grams) golden corn syrup
1/4 cup (85 grams) maple syrup
2 eggs
1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons (7 1/2 milliliters) white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (90 grams) chopped pecans
1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper to overhang the sides.
  • For the pastry: Add the flour, sugar and salt to a large bowl or the bowl of your food processor and mix/pulse to combine. Add the melted butter and mix until moist and crumbly. Transfer to your prepared pan and press into the bottom and about 1/2 centimeter (1/4 inch) up the sides.
  • Dock the crust all over with a fork and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the filling: Whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, eggs, melted butter, vinegar, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle the crust with the pecans and raisins and pour over the filling. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is just set but still a bit wobbly.
  • Cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and slicing into squares.
