Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Browned to enhance flavor
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Sweetens the dessert and provides structure
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Adds rich, caramel-like sweetness and moisture
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Gives the squares a chewy texture

  • 1 cup Pecans Roughly chopped for crunch and nutty flavor
  • 3 large Eggs Bind ingredients for rich consistency
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Enhances sweetness
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Balances flavors

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until nutty and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and flour in a bowl. Add the warm browned butter and blend until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
  5. Fold in the chopped pecans gently to ensure even distribution.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set but slightly soft in the center. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
