1 1/2 Cups flour
1/4 Cup sugar
1/8 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup plus 2 Tb cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
1 Large Egg Yolk

Filling:
1/2 Cup brown sugar -- packed
2 Tablespoons flour

3 Large eggs
1 Teaspoon vanilla
2 Cups Pecan Halves


Recipe

Heat oven to 400�F. Grease a 9" square pan. For crust: Put flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until blended. With the processor running, gradually add butter through the feed tube; process until blended. Turn out into prepared pan and gather dough. Flatten and press evenly over the bottom of the pan, forming a 1/2" edge up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. For filling: Stir brown sugar and flour in a medium bowl until blended. Add corn syrup, eggs and vanilla; whisk until well blended. Spread pecans in an even layer over the partially baked crust. Pour filling over pecans. Reduce oven temperature to 350�F. Bake for 25 minutes or until filling is firm. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
