Ingredients

8 servings

For the crust

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
3–4 tbsp ice water

For the filling

2 tbsp ground flaxseed
5 tbsp water
1 cup light corn syrup
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Add the cold butter cubes and work them in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
2
Drizzle in 3 tbsp ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just comes together; add the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough is still crumbly. Shape into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
