Enjoy the bright flavors of blood orange with these tasty bars that have a crust made of brown butter. Great for citrus fans and people who want to try something new with traditional lemon bars.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 4 large eggs. 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar. 1/3 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice. 2 tablespoons blood orange zest. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Powdered sugar, for dusting.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, 2 cups flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, blood orange juice, blood orange zest, and 1/4 cup flour until well combined. Pour the filling over the baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar. Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
