How to Make Ashley's Pecan Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup powdered sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 2 cups pecan halves until well combined.
  7. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and set.
  9. Let the pecan squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to firm up for easier serving.
