Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking pan
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup butter
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
Filling
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup chopped pecans or raisins optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, butter and powdered sugar until crumbly. Transfer to the lined baking pan, and press the dough into the pan evenly.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Combine eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, baking powder, salt and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Pour over crust, and sprinkle with pecans or raisins, if using, and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the filling has set and the top has browned.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before removing and cutting into bars or squares.
- If you pop them into the fridge, they’re easier to cut.
