Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1.5 cups light corn syrup
  • 1.5 cups white sugar

  • 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10×15-inch jellyroll pan, or line with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in 1 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the prepared pan; press firmly to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
