Orange Bars

Orange Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These bars are perfect for any occasion and are sure to impress your guests. With a zesty orange flavor and a buttery crust, these bars are a crowd-pleaser.

To make Orange Bars, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- Powdered sugar, for dusting

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by whisking together the orange juice and zest in a small bowl.
Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and pour the orange filling over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Allow the Orange Bars to cool completely before slicing into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
These Orange Bars are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The buttery crust provides a nice contrast to the zesty orange filling. They are a great dessert for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
