In this tropical version of classic lemon squares, fresh key lime juice is used in place of lemon juice. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
4 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1 3/4 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup key lime juice |
powdered sugar |
garnish: lime zest |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Beat just until a smooth dough is formed. Press into a lightly greased, foil-lined 13- x 9-inch baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, remaining 1/3 cup flour, 1 3/4 cups sugar, and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; pour over baked crust. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until set. Let cool completely in pan; chill, if desired. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and cut into bars. Garnish, if desired.
