Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 1/2 cup juice from mandarins
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Beat butter until creamy, then add the flour, sugar, and salt and beat until a dough forms. 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 and blend until smooth, a few seconds to almost a minute, depending on your blender.
  • Carefully pour filling 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.
