How to Make Pecan Toffee Shortbread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cornflour (or all-purpose flour).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking sheet, forming an even layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, prepare the toffee: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee reaches 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer. Stir in the pecans.
- Immediately pour the hot toffee over the baked shortbread and spread evenly.
- Let the toffee cool and harden completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
