Lime Squares

I have made this recipe before using lemon zest and lemon juice so I decided to try it using Lime zest and juice. I also didn't have any white flour so I substituted pastry flour for the crust. I only cooked them 25 minutes (after baking the crust 20min) and they were a little over cooked. Next time I don't think I will use limes or I will think of a way to change the recipe to have more of a lime flavor. The crust with the pastry flour was good with the pastry flour. The recipe overall was a 6 - it wasn't what I wanted but was still good. Lacked good flavor. Maybe use orange zest next time? hmmm...and slice up almonds...

Recipe:

Crust:

1 Cup Flour

1/4 Cup confectioners sugar

1/2 Cup butter softened

Mix crust ingredients and press into an 8x8 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins until almost golden brown.

Filling:

1 Cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. lime zest

2 Tbsp. lime juice

Mix all ingredients together until light and fluffy about 3 minutes. Pour over hot crust and bake 20 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Let cool. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar.
