- 1 cup (126g) confectioners sugar
- 2 cups (252g) all-purpose flour
FILLING
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (32g) all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup (160ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 teaspoons orange zest (up to 1 tablespoon, but zest can be strong so start with less)

Instructions
CRUST
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, blend together cubed butter, flour and sugar with a pastry cutter, a food processor, or your hands. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are just starting to brown.
FILLING
- In a large bowl, crack eggs and whisk them.
- To the eggs, add sugar, flour, orange juice, and orange zest. Whisk well, until no clumps remain. Pour over the baked crust after it is done baking.
- Once the filling has been added, bake for an additional 20 minutes. (Do not cover.)
- Remove from oven and let bars cool to room temperature. Place in the refrigerator for at 2 hours then dust with confectioners sugar before serving.
- Cut into squares and serve.
