Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a 10x10cm square tin with baking parchment.
2
Zest the orange first, then juice it, keeping zest and juice separate.
3
In a bowl, whisk the egg and sugar together until pale and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
4
Stir in the melted butter, orange zest and 1 tablespoon of the orange juice until combined.
5
Sift the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt over the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined with no dry streaks.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7
Scatter the flaked almonds evenly over the surface.
8
Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
9
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the warm bars with the warmed honey.
10
Cool completely in the tin on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into 2 squares.
