1/2 cup confectioners sugar |
2 tsps. grated lime peel (i use 2 whole grated limes) |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 tsps salt |
filling |
4 large eggs |
1 1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 tsp. baking powder |
1/3 cup lemon juice |
2 tsps grated lemon peel ( also use 2 whole grated lemons) |
confectioners sugar |

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and confectioners sugar.
2. Add lime peel; mix well. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to cream mixture.
3. Press into a greased 13in x 9in x 2in baking pan.
4. Bake at 350 for 13-15mins. or just until edges are slightly browned.
5. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Combine the flour and baking powder.

7. Pour over hot crust.
8. Bake for 20-25mins or until light golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Dust with confectioners sugar. Cut into squares. Store in refrigerator.
9. **I find that the cooking time varies on both the crust and the filling. It usually takes a few minutes longer than recommended.
10. **The easy way of cutting these bars, refrigerate before cutting.
11. **Also, the recipe serving varies on how big you cut the bars ;o)
