How to Make Margarita Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the crust:** In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes.
- Mix on low speed with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- **Make the filling:** While the crust is baking, in a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and the contents of one 1-ounce packet of margarita mix.
- Zest one lime and add the lime zest to the filling mixture. Stir to combine.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the filling evenly over the warm crust.
- Bake for an additional 18-22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to set completely.
- Once chilled, sift powdered sugar over the top before cutting into bars.
