Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Add the chilled and cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest until well combined.
-
In a separate small bowl, sift together 1/4 cup of flour and baking powder. Gradually add this flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until smooth.
-
Pour the orange batter over the baked crust in the baking dish, making sure it spreads evenly.
-
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
-
Allow the Orange Squares to cool completely in the dish before cutting them into squares. Dust the tops with powdered sugar for a lovely finishing touch.
