Description

Directions

• Mix together the sugar and custard powder in a small saucepan.
• Add the orange juice, zest and vanilla extract. Stir well.
• Cook over medium low heat, stirring slowly but constantly. I prefer to use a silicone spatula for this, so that I can continuously run it along the entire bottom of the pot.
• When the filling thickens, remove from the heat and pour about a half cup onto the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
• Return the egg mixture quickly back to the pot, again stirring constantly. Cook for one more minute,
• Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Set aside while you prepare the crumble.
• Mix together the flour, sugar & baking powder.
• Sprinkle on the vanilla extract.
• Using your hands or a pastry blender cut in the butter until the it is completely incorporated into the dry ingredients. You can also do this very quickly in a food processor.
• Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch well greased baking pan. Pour the orange custard filling evenly over the bottom crumbs. Gently sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the orange custard filling and press down gently.
• Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 40 - 45 minutes or until light golden brown in color. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
