Quilt Festival – Houston

Hello all.  Here’s a link to some photos from the Quilt Festival in Houston.  http://www.quilts.com/fqf08/enVivo/  Just click on the links down the left side. I think the time they’ll be up is limited so go see soon!

Carla’s Pecan Bars

Pecan Bars
 
Crust
2 sticks butter, unsalted
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 t salt
 
Combine the above and add 2 C flour slowly until completely incorporated.  Spread in a 9×13 pan – use plastic wrap to spread out as it is very soft.  Bake at 350 for approximately 20-25 minutes.
 
Topping
2 large eggs – whisked
1 1/2 C light brown sugar
1 T dark Karo syrup (I used Molasses since I didn’t have any Karo) – whisk all together until all combined
2 T flour
1 t salt
1/2 t baking powder
Add and mix into eggs
 
Add 2 C chopped pecans – keep fairly large
1 C shredded coconut
 
Pour into prebaked crust and bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. 
 
This is best made at least a day ahead to give the crust time to absorb the mixture – otherwise it tends to be a bit crumbly
