Making Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars is a simple process you can follow easily. Here’s how to create these delicious treats step by step:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined and no dry flour is visible.
4. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the bottom.
5. Prepare Pecan Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the corn syrup and pecan halves. Stir until pecans are coated.
6. Layer the Pecan Mixture: Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the pressed dough layer in the pan.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center looks slightly firm.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
9. Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan, then slice into squares.
