Cooking Instructions For The Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9″ x 13″ baking pan with parchment paper, making sure it slightly overhangs the edges.
- In a food processor, pulse together the butter, flour, sugar, salt, and spices until the mixture resembles very rough breadcrumbs.
- Tip out into the pan and press firmly and evenly into base, smoothing it flat.
- Bake until dry to the touch and golden at the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove pan to a cooling rack.
Cooking Instructions For The Topping:
- In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, bourbon, and vanilla on a medium speed. On a low speed, gradually whisk in the flour and salt.
- Fold through the pecans. Spoon the topping over the crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake until set and golden on top, about 35-45 minutes; a toothpick should come out virtually clean from the middle when ready. Let cool completely before turning out and cutting.
