Steps:
- Make the crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg; pulse just until a dough forms.
- Transfer dough to prepared pan; with floured fingers and an offset spatula, press firmly into bottom and 3/4 inch up sides. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Prick bottom of dough; bake until lightly golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool while preparing filling.
- Make the filling: In a large saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over high heat, whisking constantly, until smooth; continue boiling, without stirring, until slightly darkened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat. Whisk in cream and salt; mix in pecans.
- Assemble and bake: Spoon hot filling evenly over crust, using spoon to arrange and press in nuts so they fit snugly (create as flat a surface as possible).
- Bake until bubbling and amber-colored, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
- Using foil, lift cake from pan; peel off foil. With a sharp knife, trim edges (if desired). Cut into 6 even strips; cut each strip crosswise into 4 even strips to make 24 bars.

[email protected]These pecan bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
