We just watched Bobby Flay win the key lime pie Throwdown and I was flipping through some magazines and found this recipe. These bars would totally be worth straying from the calorie counting wagon for a minute...or two or three.
Bars
2 C. all purpose flour
1 C. butter softened
1/2 C. powdered sugar
Filling
2 C. sugar
1/4 C. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs
1/2 C. fresh or bottled key lime juice
1/4 C. grated lime peel
Powdered sugar
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 C. flour, butter and 1/2 C. powdered sugar; mix thoroughly. Press mixture into a 13x9 pan. Bake 10 minutes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine 2 C. sugar, 1/4 C. flour, baking powder and eggs; mix until well blended. Gently stir in lime juice and peel. Carefully pour over hot crust. Bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are light brown and rilling is set. Cool completely on a wire rack; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into squares, store in the refrigerator.
