These chewy, sweet tasting pecan bars are another
from several generations
back. They are made on a large sheet
pan, then cut into 2" squares. As
Memaw would say, her mother always made these
during the cold season as
they would be great with a hot cup of coffee.
Ingredients:
1 lb. light brown sugar
4 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. salt
2 cups pecans, chopped
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
Directions:
In a large saucepan on medium low heat, add the brown sugar and
eggs. Heat until
the sugar is melted, no longer. Remove from the heat and add
the remaining
ingredients. Stir to mix well with a large spoon. Pour
batter into a buttered, floured
cookie pan that has sides. Pour batter so that it is 1/2"
inch thick.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Check with a toothpick.
Remove, let cool and cut into 2" squares. Store in an airtight
container.
