Step-by-Step Instructions for Orange Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and large eggs until smooth, then combine with the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and gently tap to remove air bubbles.
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, fresh orange juice, orange zest, large eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth, then pour over the crust.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before preparing the glaze.
- Mix powdered sugar with fresh orange juice and zest until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bars and cut into squares.
