How to Make London Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup chopped pecans, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Prepare the meringue: In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle with additional chopped pecans (optional).
- Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and set.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
