#3217 - Lime Squares

(by Shirley McNevich)

Crust: 1 cup softened butter; 1/2 cup Domino's powdered sugar; 2 cups flour; a pinch of salt

Batter: 2 cups white sugar; 4 eggs; 6 TBSP flour; fresh limes

In a mixer add softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar--beat. Add salt--beat. Slowly add 2 cups of flour--beat until mixed, then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Squeeze limes so you have a heaping 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice, and scrape the outside of the lime to get 2 tsp. of lime zest. In a mixer add eggs--beat. Add white sugar--beat. Add 6 TBSP flour, heaping 1/4 cup lime juice and 2 tsp. lime zest--beat until smooth. Pour the batter over the top of the warm crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until batter is set. Cool completely. Dust the whole top with powdered sugar before cutting into squares.
