Step-by-Step Instructions for Lime Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 11x7-inch baking dish by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, salt, and butter. Pulse until it resembles fine crumbs. Press into the prepared dish and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and firm.
- Whisk together granulated sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Gradually add eggs, whisking after each addition. Stir in lime zest and fresh lime juice until blended.
- Pour the lime filling over the hot crust and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes until the filling is set and firm.
- Let cool in the dish for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours to finish setting.
- Lift the bars out using the parchment overhang, transfer to a cutting board, and slice into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
For a smoother filling, whisk well and avoid overbaking. Chill before cutting for easier slicing.
