Ingredients:

Crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut in pieces

Filling:

1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions:

CRUST:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 9-inch square or 11 x 7 x 2 inch baking pan. Using electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in large bowl on low speed to blend. Add butter and beat on medium speed until some 1/4-inch pieces remain and fine crumbs form, about 1 minute. Transfer crumbs to prepared pan; press evenly over bottom. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

FILLING:

Using electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat brown sugar, cream, eggs and vanilla in large bowl on medium speed until smooth. Reduce mixer speed. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in raisins and pecans. Pour batter evenly over the partially baked crust.

Bake until filling is set when pan is shaken gently, about 30 minutes. Cool bars in pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Using sharp knife, cut into 16 bars. Transfer bars to platter and serve.
