3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter

FILLING:

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups chopped pecans

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt.  Cut in butter until crumbly.  Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until crust edges are beginning to brown and bottom is set.

For filling, combine the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter and vanilla in a large bowl; mix well.  Stir in pecans.  Pour over crust.  Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until edges are firm and center is almost set.  Cool on wire racks.  Cut into bars.  Refrigerate until serving.
