How to Make Light Lime Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lime zest and lime juice.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  8. For an extra zing, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
