- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
- Press the dough into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Beat in eggs one at a time until well combined. Stir in chopped pecans.
- Pour filling over the pre-baked crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
