Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 28 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon light corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg yolk and mix well.
  3. Gradually incorporate flour and salt into the mixture until combined. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
