Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pecans, finely chopped
  • 1½ cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • 2. Stir granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and oil until smooth.
  • 3. Mix in self-rising flour, salt, and vanilla until just combined.
  • 4. Fold in chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  • 5. Pour batter into prepared dish. Bake 30-35 minutes until toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • 6. Cool 15 minutes in pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Self-rising flour = all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt.
  • Toast pecans first for deeper flavor; cool completely before folding.
  • Edges extra caramelized and chewy—perfect Instagram corner pieces.
  • Stores airtight 5 days or freeze squares 3 months.
  • Dust powdered sugar or serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • Glass pan yields crispier bottom; metal pan softer texture.
