Tangerine Bars

 

1 C. (140 grams) all-purpose flour

1/4 C. powdered sugar

1/8 tsp. kosher salt

7 T. salted butter, melted

 

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper, letting the excess hang over the sides of the pan (about 2 inches on each side is perfect). In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the butter and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture just comes together into a dough (it’s OK if it’s a bit crumbly). Sprinkle the dough into the baking dish and, using your fingers, press the dough into a thin, even layer and build up a thin, 3/4-inch-high edge around the sides to help contain the filling. Bake until the crust is evenly light golden brown all over, about 25 minutes.
