Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecan halves (about 2 1/4 ounces), finely chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup, preferably Grade B
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk flours, salt, and chopped pecans in a bowl.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth and light, about 1 minute. Add maple syrup, egg yolk, and vanilla; beat on medium until well combined. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Dough should be smooth and pliable. Flatten into a square. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, 1 1/2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Cut out squares using a 3-inch fluted square cutter; place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake cookies, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden just around the edges, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days.

MAPLE AND PECAN SHORTBREADS

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup/60 ml packed light brown sugar
1 stick/125 ml unsalted butter, softened (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon/5 ml pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups/310 ml all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Pinch fine salt
1 1/2 cups/355 ml pure maple syrup
Ice water, for chilling
1 cup/250 ml pecans, toasted, chopped
Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • For the shortbread: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, making sure to leave several inches of overhang on each side to lift out the shortbread (or use a rectangular tart mold with removable bottom). Cream together the sugar and butter, using an electric mixer on medium speed, until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla, and then the flour and salt. The dough will be crumbly, pea-size balls. Dust your fingers in flour, evenly distribute the crumbles throughout the dough, and then press evenly into the pan and the edges, forming a smooth dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Bake until the shortbread is a nice golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the crust completely in the pan set over a wire rack.
  • For the maple butter: Bring the maple syrup to a boil, without stirring, in a small high-sided saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the syrup, lowering the heat to medium if it begins to foam up to the top of the pot, until a candy thermometer reaches 235 degrees F to 240 degrees F (113 to 116 degrees C), soft-ball stage, about 15 minutes. Place the saucepan in a basin or bowl of ice water. Let cool, without stirring, until the thermometer reads about 120 degrees F (50 degrees C), 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the water. Beat the syrup, using a hand-held electric mixer on medium-high speed, until creamy, light in color (like peanut butter) and thickened, about 5 minutes. Continue to stir the maple syrup using a wooden spoon until it has lightened a few more shades, lost some of its sheen and slowly oozes off the spoon. Spread the maple butter over the cooled crust. Top with the toasted pecans and gently press into the maple butter. Sprinkle with sea salt. Set the pan aside for 30 minutes so the maple butter can set. It will change from a shiny finish to a dull, matte finish. Gently lift out of the pan and cut into 24 pieces.

MAPLE PECAN SHORTBREAD SQUARES



Maple Pecan Shortbread Squares image

These Maple pecan squares are amazing. The crunch of the pecans and off-set by the beautiful shortbread and the sweetness from the maple means it isn't sickly! Edible perfection!

Provided by richardhanney

Time 1h10m

Yield Makes 1-16, depends how you cut it!

Number Of Ingredients 10

125g Plain flour
75g Light Brown Muscovado Sugar
115g Softened Unsalted Butter
125g Plain flour
75g Light Brown Muscovado Sugar
115g Softened Unsalted Butter
1 Large Egg
75g Light Brown Muscovado Sugar
45ml Pure Maple Syrup (as dark as possible)
60g Chopped Pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F)
  • Combine the flour and 75g light brown muscovado sugar in a mixer until well combined.
  • Mix in the softened butter until a dough has formed.
  • Press into a lined 20x20cm baking dish, and prick with a fork. If you don't have an 20x20cm dish you can use any rectangular dish. You may just have to make more shortbread, but that's never a bad thing!
  • Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven for about 20-30 minutes (depending on the amount of shortbread you make). It should look puffy and golden brown when done.
  • While the shortbread is baking, beat the egg in a mixing bowl along with 75g light brown muscovado sugar, maple syrup, and pecans.
  • Pour the pecan mixture over the hot shortbread and return to the oven. Continue baking until firmed, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and immediately run a knife around the edges to prevent sticking if the mixture has got past the baking parchment. Cool completely, then cut how ever you like. ENJOY!

MAPLE SHORTBREAD BARS



Maple Shortbread Bars image

Shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Regina Schrambling wrote of the healing power of cooking. "The food is not really the thing," she said. "It's the making of it that gets you through a bad time." This recipe, adapted from "The New Carryout Cuisine" by Phyllis Méras with Linda Glick Conway, was one she turned to in the trying days that followed. A mere two steps, and ready in less than an hour, it's comfort in a pan, just as good for when the darkness creeps up as it is for those days when you just need a bit more. And to those who might scoff at the two sticks of butter? Consider taking Schrambling's words to heart: "Abstemiousness," she wrote, "is not an option when you're feeling low."
