How To Make orange-poppy seed shortbread wedges

Step 1

In a food processor, process the flour, sugar, salt, and butter until moist clumps form. Add the orange zest and poppy seeds and pulse once or twice just to combine.

Step 2

Press the mixture evenly into a buttered 9-inch fluted removable bottom tart pan (or a 9-inch round cake pan).
Step 3

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 4

Using a serrated knife, cut the warm shortbread into 12 wedges. Let the wedges cool completely before removing them from the pan.
