Number Of Ingredients 12

baking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
⅔ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup salted butter, melted
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup Golden Eagle syrup
3 cups pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Spray the parchment paper with baking spray.
  • Combine flour, butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse 6 or 7 times to combine. Transfer mixture to the lined pan and press into an even layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack.
  • Combine eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in syrup until well combined. Stir in pecans. Pour over the still-warm shortbread crust.
