We made a very tasty lime bar. We also made a gluten free version. This did take around 15 to 20 Miniutes loger in the oven.
Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter (cut into 8 pieces)
Filling:
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp lime zest
- 2/3 cup fresh lime juice
- drop of green (+ yellow) food colouring, optional
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease or line an 11×7-inch or 8 to 9-inch square glass baking dish with parchment paper that overhangs 2-inches on both sides.
- To make the crust: Combine the flour, powdered sugar, salt and butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press into prepared pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile make the filling: Whisk together the sugar and flour in a bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add the zest, lime juice, and a drop of green (+ yellow) food colouring, if desired. Mix until everything is smooth and combined.
- Pour filling over hot crust and return to oven to bake for an additional 18 to 20 minutes or until set. When done, the filling will no longer jiggle.
- Let cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for 1-2 hours and serve cold. Lift bars out of pan with parchment paper for easy cutting and serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
