Directions:Preheat oven to 350º.
In a medium bowl, combine flour and chilled butter with a pastry cutter until dough resembles coarse meal. Add water gradually and mix just until dough holds together and can be shaped into a ball. (Can use a food processor for making the pastry.) Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
On floured surface, roll out dough into a 10 -inch square. Fold dough in half and then into quarters. Place it in an 8X8 -inch baking pan. Unfold the dough and press it into the corners and up along the sides of the pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Prepare the filling:
Melt 5 Tbsp butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, stir in sugar and corn syrup. Mix until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs, beat with a spoon until thoroughly combined. Fold in chopped pecans.
Pour the pecan filling into the pastry-lined pan. If dough extends beyond filling mixture, trim dough with a knife. Place pan in center of oven and bake 50 - 60 minutes or until filling is set. Cool on wire rack. Cut into 2 -inch squares and top with a pecan half. Serve at room temperature or chilled. |
