Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
