  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour

For the orange ginger top layer

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 4 eggs
  • zest of one large orange or two clementines

Instructions

To prepare the pastry botton

  2. Press evenly into the bottom of a greased and parchment paper lined 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F ( 325 degrees F if you are using glass bake-ware)

To prepare the orange ginger top layer

  1. For the orange ginger topping simply whisk together all of the ingredients in the filling, except the candied ginger.

  2. Allow the topping to sit for about 10 minutes before whisking together well again and pouring over the baked shortbread base. Sprinkle  the candied ginger evenly over the top.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for about another 20- 25 minutes or until the top is slightly browned and the custard appears to be set. Cool completely. Sprinkle with icing sugar when cool.
