Pecan Pie bars
BASE:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 325 mL
3 tbsp granulated sugar 45 mL
1/2 cup Imperial Hard Margarine (1 square) 125 mL
PECAN TOPPING:
2 eggs 2
1/2 cup granulated sugar 125 mL
1/2 cup golden corn syrup 125 mL
2 tbsp Imperial Hard or Soft Margarine, melted 30 mL
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans 500 mL
Preheat oven to 350º F (180º C).
Base: In a medium bowl, combine flour and granulated sugar; cut in Imperial Hard Margarine with pastry blender until coarse crumbs are formed. Press well into the bottom of a greased 9-inch (2 L) square pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
Pecan Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs with granulated sugar, corn syrup and Imperial Margarine. Stir in pecans. Pour evenly over cooked base and bake 30-35 minutes or until set and top is golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars with a sharp serrated knife.
Tip:
For a runnier filling, bake a little less. For firmer filling, bake a little more.
