How to Make Lime Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, and ¾ cup powdered sugar. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the mixture into an ungreased 8x8x2 inch or 9x9x2 inch baking pan, forming a ½-inch crust around the edges.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup lime juice, and 1 teaspoon lime zest until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Pour the lime mixture evenly over the baked crust.
- Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles when gently touched.
- Let cool completely in the pan before sprinkling with powdered sugar and cutting into 1-inch squares.
