分步操作

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

   约 5分钟

2. 2

   Brush an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with the melted butter, then add the pan preparation flour and tilt the pan to coat it completely, tapping out any excess.

   约 2分钟

   烹饪提示： This two-step process of greasing and flouring ensures the sticky bars will not stick to the pan.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, toss the chopped candied orange slices with the dusting flour until they are evenly coated.

   约 1分钟

   烹饪提示： Coating the fruit in flour helps prevent it from sinking to the bottom of the batter during baking.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until they are light and frothy.

   约 2分钟

5. 5

   Add the packed brown sugar to the eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

   约 1分钟

6. 6

   Add the batter flour and salt, stirring with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.

   约 1分钟

   烹饪提示： Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tougher cookie.

7. 7

   Fold in the flour-dusted orange slices and the chopped pecans.

   约 1分钟

8. 8

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use the spatula to spread it into an even layer.

   约 2分钟

9. 9

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

   约 30分钟

10. 10

    Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the bars to cool for at least 20 minutes before handling.

    约 20分钟

    烹饪提示： Cooling slightly makes the bars easier to cut cleanly.

11. 11

    While the bars are still warm, use a sharp knife to cut them into 16 squares.

    约 2分钟

12. 12

    If using, sift the powdered sugar over the bars just before serving.
