Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (119ml) fresh squeezed orange juice
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract 
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (31g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • Powdered sugar (for topping)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Beat butter with a hand or a stand mixer until creamy, then add the flour, sugar, and salt and beat until a dough forms. (If you’re using a hand mixer it will take extra time.) Press the crust into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 18 minutes.
  • A few minutes before the crust comes out of the oven, prepare the filling. Place all filling ingredients into a blender jar and blend until smooth, a few seconds to almost a minute, depending on your blender. You can also do this with a whisk in a large bowl.
  • Carefully pour filling over evenly over hot crust. Return to oven and bake until the top is no longer jiggly, about 20-23 minutes. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing into bars.
