1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the bottom and sides of a 15x10 inch baking pan.

   Combine the flour, the smaller amount of sugar, butter, and salt in a large bowl, working the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs. Press this evenly and firmly into the prepared pan.

   In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, the larger amount of sugar, melted margarine, and vanilla until well combined. Fold in the pecans.

   Pour the filling evenly over the warm crust and return to the oven for about 25 minutes, until the filling is set. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
