Ingredients
  

SHORTBREAD CRUST

  • 1 cup cake flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup canola oil

FILLING

  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup + 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • ½ tsp cider vinegar
  • ¾ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup raisins
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

TO MAKE CRUST:

  • Prepare an 8" x 8" baking pan by spraying lightly with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 275ºF.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the oil and cut into flour until combined and crumbly. Press firmly and evenly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake until lightly brown at edges, 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to the touch.

TO MAKE FILLING:

  • Increase temperature of oven to 350ºF. Whisk eggs, sugar, oil, vinegar and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in raisins and pecans. Pour over cooled crust, spreading evenly. Bake until filling is set and brown, 35-40 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares. They freeze very well.
