Maple Pecan Bars

After I made my crazy inept spiderweb deerfence repair, I invented the recipe below. It was a winner. Not low-calorie.

Maple Pecan Bars
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For the base:

1 stick of butter
1-1/3 cups flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
salt to taste

Mix in food processor, press into 9x9 baking pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Topping:

2-1/4 cups pecans, broken into pieces
1/2 stick of butter
3/4 cup of maple syrup
salt to taste
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour

Mix it all, pour it onto still-hot base, cook for 15-20 minutes more. It's a little sloppy when it first comes out of the oven but it gells up nicely and is utterly delicious.
