Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal later.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and honey until well combined. Add in the orange zest, orange juice, and 2 tablespoons of flour, mixing until smooth.
-
Pour the orange mixture over the baked crust, ensuring an even layer. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
-
Allow the Orange Honey Bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully lift the bars using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
-
Dust the bars with powdered sugar before slicing into squares or bars of your desired size.
