FAQs

How to remove bitterness from orange bars?

To remove bitterness from orange bars, adjust sugar quantity, balance with acidity, or use sweeter oranges for a more pleasant flavor profile.

Why did my orange bars sink in the middle?

Your orange bars may sink in the middle due to overmixing the batter, which can lead to excess air incorporation and collapse during baking.

Why are my orange bars dry?

Dry orange bars may result from overbaking, insufficient moisture in the filling, or using too much flour in the crust.

How can you tell if orange bars are done?

Orange bars are done when the edges are golden brown, the filling is set but slightly jiggly, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
