Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl or standing mixer combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 sticks of butter. Mix well until the mixture is dry and crumbly.
- In a large pan (preferably 10×15), grease the bottom or line with parchment paper. Pour the crust mixture onto the greased pan and press firmly to create a crust. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

- Place back in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Let cool and serve.
Notes
Use parchment paper to line the pan for easy removal. Pour the filling onto the hot crust for best results. Total baking time is 45 minutes (10 minutes for crust plus 35 minutes for filling).
