Orange Pie

Ingredients

Flour 250g

Sugar 180g

Eggs 4

Butter 120g

Orange Juice 140ml

Orange Zest 3 tbsp

Baking Powder 1 tsp

Salt 1/4 tsp

For the topping:

Orange Juice 100ml

Water 4 tbsp

Sugar 2 tbsp

For the topping:

Icing Sugar

Orange Zest

In a deep bowl, combine the sugar and softened butter with a mixer. Then add the eggs and beat. Add the orange zest and orange juice to the mixture. Mix well.

Next, sift the flour, mix with the salt and baking powder, and pour into a bowl. Mix with a mixer until a smooth dough forms.

 Now prepare the pan by greasing it with a knob of butter. Pour the batter into the pan and place it in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake for 40-45 minutes. When the pie is ready, let it cool and then remove it from the pan.

While the pie is cooling, prepare the syrup. To do this, simply combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and place it over the stove. Stirring constantly, bring the syrup to a boil and immediately turn off the stove. Once the pie has cooled, use a knife to make neat slits all the way to the bottom.

This will allow the pie to soak in better. Pour the syrup over it and let it sit for 1 hour to soak completely. Then, sprinkle the pie with powdered sugar and orange zest.

Enjoy!
