Method
- Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/ gas 3. Put the flour, semolina and 120g of the golden caster sugar in the bowl of a food processor, add the butter and vanilla paste and process briefly until the mixture just begins to stick together into pea-sized lumps (or put in a large bowl and rub together with your fingertips).
- Tip half the mixture into the tin and, using the back of a metal spoon, press to make an even layer.
- Spoon over the mincemeat, then smooth again to make an even layer. Stir the pecans and the remaining 2½ tbsp sugar into the remaining mixture, then sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the tin, then cut into to 15-20 squares (see Make Ahead).
