| 1. Set oven to 350 degrees. | 2. Line the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides, then butter the foil. | 3. For the crust: in a food processor blend flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch and salt; process for a couple of seconds. | 4. Add in cold butter and process until the mixture begins to come together. | 5. Lightly press the mixture onto the bottom of prepared baking dish that has been lined with a foil overhang. | 6. Bake the crust for about 25 minutes, or until lightly golden (if you are not using the foil, then bake a little less time, watch closely not to overbake the crust!). | 7. Remove and let sit at room temperature while preparing the topping. | 8. Reduce oven to 325 degrees. | 9. To make the topping: In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils (about 1 minute). | 10. Add in chopped pecans and whipping cream; boil until the mixture thickens (about 3 minutes). | 11. Add in vanilla. | 12. Pour the hot topping over the warm crust. | 13. Return to oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the caramel is darker and is bubbling thickly. | 14. Cool COMPLETELY in the pan (the topping will harden upon sitting). | 15. Using the foil overhang, lift out of the pan onto a cutting board. | 16. Using a sharp knife cut into 1 x 1-inch diamonds or to desired size. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
