Combine flour , sugar and salt in a large bowl.

Cut in 3 / 4 cup butter thoroughly with pastry blender until you have fine crumbs.

Press mixture evenly into sprayed or greased 13 x 9 baking pan.

Bake at 350 for 17-20 minutes until lightly browned.

Combine brown sugar , corn syrup and 1 / 2 cup butter in a sauce pan.

Bring to a boil over medium heat , stirring gently.

To avoid scrambling the eggs , temper the lightly beaten eggs by stirring in 1 / 4 heated mixture into eggs gradually.

Once tempered , add egg mixture to sauce pan and stir in pecans and vanilla.

Pour filling over crust and bake at 350 for 25 minutes , or until set.
