Steps

  1. Shortbread Crust

    - Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8″ by 8″ square pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it well.

    - Cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Add the flour and salt and mix just until combined.

    - Press or pat dough into bottom of the prepared pan.

    - Bake at 350* for 20 minutes or until barely golden.

    - While crust is baking, prepare the filling

  2. Filling

    - In the same mixing bowl you made the crust, (no need to clean it!) mix sugar, flour, baking powder, eggs and 1/2 cup lime juice.

    - Pour onto partially baked crust and return to oven for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, and center has a slight jiggle.

    - The bars will continue to set after removing from oven. Cool completely. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
