Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan.
  2. Making the Crust:

    • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar.
    • Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Stir in the chopped pecans.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
    • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until it’s just golden.
  3. Preparing the Filling:

    • In another bowl, beat together the eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, orange zest, orange juice, and baking powder using an electric mixer.
    • Continue beating for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is well combined and slightly fluffy.
    • Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  4. Assembly:

    • Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and pour the prepared coconut mixture over it, spreading it out evenly.
    • Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned, and the center is set.
  5. Finishing Touches:

    • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
    • Once cooled, carefully cut them into 2-inch squares.
    • Then, cut each square in half diagonally to create triangles.
    • If desired, sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
