Citrus-Hazelnut Bars
Directions
Crust:
- For the crust, beat the butter in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Beat until thoroughly combined. Beat in the 1 cup flour and about half of the nuts until mixture is crumbly.
- Press mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8x2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl stir together the eggs, the 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the 2 tablespoons flour, orange peel, lemon peel, orange juice, lemon juice, and baking powder. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed or until combined. Pour over hot baked layer. Sprinkle with remaining nuts.
- Bake about 20 minutes more or until light brown around the edges and the center is set. Cool on a rack. If desired, sift powdered sugar over top. Cut into bars. Store bars, covered, in the refrigerator. Makes 20 bars.
