Lime Squares

1 1/4 cups unsifted flour

1 stick unsalted butter, cut into slices

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons finely grated lime zest

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking powder Confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

Blend 1 cup flour, butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon lime

zest, and salt with a pastry blender until mixture forms a loose

paste. Turn out into the baking pan and pat evenly onto the

bottom, forming a 1/2-inch edge along the pan sides. Bake

until the crust is pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove

from oven, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees.

Cool crust 10 minutes. While the crust cools, whisk together

remaining flour, sugar, and lime zest along with lime juice,

eggs, and baking powder. Pour the filling onto the partially

cooked crust, then bake until filling is set, 25 minutes. Cool

completely, then chill at least 2 hours before cutting.

Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
