How to Make Pecan And Pineapple Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  5. Press 2 cups of the crumb mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 large egg, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the remaining crumb mixture, stirring until just combined.
  8. Stir in 1 ½ cups well-drained crushed pineapple and ½ cup sultanas (golden raisins).
  9. Spread the mixture evenly over the pressed crumb base.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
