📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the Shortbread Crust:
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
3
Place the flour, cornflour, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the melted butter and using a fork, stir until it forms a thick, sandy dough. It should be fairly moist and will seem a bit greasy at this point.
4
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the bottom. (It will seem like a thin crust but don't worry because it will rise up once baked)
5
Bake for roughly ⏱️ 18-20 minutes, or until the crust set and a very light golden. Let the crust cool for ⏱️ 30 minutes before adding the filling.
6
For the Pecan Filling:
7
Place the butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
8
Remove from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Fold in the pecans. At this point, the topping will be very thin and liquidy.

Remove from the pan and cut into 24 squares and enjoy! Store leftovers in an air-tight container at room temperature.
