Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (I used mandarins, about 6 of them)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 large eggs
• Powdered sugar, for topping

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×13” 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. 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.
