Ingredients
  

  • Crust:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • cup butter slightly softened and cut into small pieces
  • Filling:
  • 1 + ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • cup evaporated milk
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • confectioners' sugar

Instructions
 

Make the crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a medium mixing bowl stir the flour and sugar together.
  • Add the butter cubes and toss to coat. Use a pastry blender, potato masher or fork to cut in the butter until small crumbs form.
  • Pat it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.

Make the filling:

  • In large mixing bowl cream the sugar and butter together on medium speed about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg on low speed.
  • Beat in the flour, on medium speed, a third at a time alternating with the evaporated milk until smooth and combined.
  • Beat in the corn syrup and vanilla until well combined.
  • Spoon into the crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar generously over the top.
  • Bake 25 to 33 minutes or until cake is set around the edges but still wobbly in the center when the pan is shaken. Don't overcook!
  • Cool in pan on wire rack. Sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar and cut into squares to serve.
