Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a 9x12-inch baking dish with foil (to make lifting out easy). Lightly spray the foil with Non-Stick Baking Spray (as needed).

step 2

In a large bowl, stir together All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cups) and Powdered Confectioners Sugar (1/2 cup). Cut the cold Butter (3/4 cup) into small pieces.

step 3

Add to the flour mixture and using a pastry cutter or the back of a fork, cut the butter until it is in pea-sized pieces. Halfway through, add 1/4 tsp zest of the Orange (1) and 1/4 tsp zest of the Lemon (1)

step 4

Press the crust mix into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.

step 5

While the crust is baking, in the same bowl, whip Eggland's Best Classic Eggs (3) on high for about 3 minutes until light and frothy.

step 6

Reduce speed to low, and beat in the Granulated Sugar (1 cup), remaining All-Purpose Flour (3 Tbsp), Baking Powder (1/2 tsp), Salt (1/2 tsp), and 1/3 cup of combined orange and lemon juice.

step 7

When combined, pour over the prepared crust. Return to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the filling is set.

step 8

Remove from the oven and carefully lift the foil and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Let cool completely, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, cut and serve. Enjoy!
