How to Make Orange Anise Seed Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange zest and anise extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the squares cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Once cooled, frost with either the Orange Glaze or the Honey-Almond Topping (recipes below).
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
