BUTTER PECAN PIE
Steps:
- Roll out your pie crust, crimp the edges and transfer to the freezer to chill.
- In a large skillet, set over medium heat, add the butter and melt. When the butter has melted, add the vanilla bean seeds and pods, along with the pecans; toss until combined. And then toast until fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes, tossing them every minute or so to ensure even browning and toasting.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl whisk together the Karo Light Corn Syrup, eggs, brown sugar and salt.
- Allow the pecans to cool for about 10 minutes. We're doing this so they won't be hot when we add them to the pie crust. When the pecans have cooled, remove them, using a slotted spoon and place them in the chilled pie crust shell. There will be some leftover melted butter. Pour that leftover melted butter into the bowl with the egg mixture and whisk it until smooth and combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the pecans. Brush the edges of the pie crust with egg wash and place on a baking sheet. This pie has a tendency to overflow with a bit of butter so I always place it on a lined baking sheet to avoid a mess in my oven.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer to the oven to bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the edges of the pie crust are golden brown and the center is mostly set. It will jiggle and that is ok!
- Allow to cool to room temperature and set for about 3 to 4 hours. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for full butter becan vibes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out. Set aside.
- Slice the butter up into pieces and place in a light-colored skillet. (Light colored helps you determine when the butter begins browning.) Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam. Keep stirring occasionally. After 5-8 minutes, the butter will begin browning- you'll notice lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan and it will have a nutty aroma. Once browned, remove from heat immediately and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, stir the brown butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in the flour until evenly combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Combine the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 3 minutes. As it is boiling, carefully spoon 1/2 cup of the mixture into a glass measuring cup. Slowly drizzle it into the beaten eggs. Stir frequently to keep it moving so the eggs do not scramble. Once the 1/2 cup mixture is added to the beaten eggs, slowly drizzle and whisk this back into the pot. The trick is to always be stirring/whisking to avoid scrambling the eggs. Remove from heat, stir in the pecans, and pour evenly over the crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out *mostly* clean. If the top is getting too brown as it bakes, loosely cover with aluminum foil. Remove from the oven, set on a wire rack, and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Cover and store leftover bars at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

PECAN SQUARES
A cousin to the pecan pie, but much less fussy: Pecan squares are a kitchen classic. Here, we've updated a version that came to us in 1998 from William Grimes, scaling it down and moving away from the original pâte brisée. The pecans are mixed in an addictive caramel sauce, which - if you can stop eating it on its own - is spread over shortbread and baked until just set. The end result is sweet, but not cloying, balanced by the crust and sure to please.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13x9-inch pan, and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides. Butter the parchment. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt, and pulse to combine. Add the butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the egg yolk and pulse to evenly distribute its moisture. The mixture should just hold together when you squeeze it in your hand. Add up to 2 tablespoons ice water, if necessary, but don't let the mixture get too wet: It should still be somewhat sandy.
- Tip the crumbs out into the prepared pan. Use your fingers or the flat bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs up the sides about 1/4 inch to create a border. Press the remaining crumbs down to an even thickness. Bake the crust until light golden brown and set, about 40 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack while assembling the topping. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
- In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey and salt and bring to a strong simmer over medium heat, whisking ingredients together once the butter has melted. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir in the nuts and combine well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread it evenly, keeping it within the border as best as you can.
- Bake the bars until the caramel is thickened and just set, about 20 to 25 minutes (the caramel will continue to firm up when cooled). Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely. Using the parchment paper, transfer to a cutting board to cut into equal pieces to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9-inch pan. For the crust, in a bowl mix the cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. Measure out 2/3 cup of this mixture and reserve it for the topping. Pat the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the reserved crust mixture, the remaining 3 eggs, the corn syrup, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the pecans. Pour this mixture over the partially baked crust. Increase the oven heat to 375 degrees and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cake is set. Let cool, then cut into bars.
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your butter pecan pie squares. Use real butter, fresh pecans, and high-quality vanilla extract.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pie squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie squares until they are set: The pie squares are done baking when they are set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the pie squares cool completely before cutting: This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Butter pecan pie squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and bake sales. With their rich, buttery flavor and crunchy pecans, these pie squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
