Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

To prepare the crust, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix.

Step 3

Add the diced chilled butter to the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 7

Press the dough into the tart pan and trim the edges. Place the pan in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 8

In a large bowl, combine the beaten eggs, dark corn syrup, light brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well blended.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped pecans.

Step 10

Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared crust, spreading evenly.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving.

Step 13

Carefully remove the tart from the pan and serve slices as desired.
