• Press into the bottom of prepared baking dish in a single thin layer and bake at 300f degrees for 10-15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, and flour until combined. Fold in chopped pecans.
• When shortbread layer is done, remove from the oven and pour over your pecan mixture. Raise the oven temperature to 350F degrees, and bake again for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden and lightly crispy.
• Take out and allow to cool COMPLETELY. These slice up easier if you put them into the refrigerator and cool. It also helps the filling to finish setting up.
