Tips:
- For the perfect texture, make sure to measure your flour correctly. Use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour or spoon it into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the frosting. To brown butter, melt it in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. - If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.Conclusion:
These orange spice pumpkin bars with browned butter frosting are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. The bars are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices.
