Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in nuts. Combine egg yolks, orange zest, and orange juice. Add to flour mixture, stirring til moistened. If mixture is too dry, add more orange juice, a teaspoon at a time (up to 2 tablespoons).
