Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup cold butter cut into 8 pieces
Filling:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the crust, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Sprinkle the butter pieces over the top of the dry mixture and using a pastry blender, two knives or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the mixture into the bottom of a 9X9-inch pan and press the crust firmly to form an even layer. B
- Bake the crust for 16-17 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by whisking together all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl until evenly combined.
- Pour the filling mixture over the hot crust when it comes out of the oven and return it to the oven to bake for 18-20 more minutes, until the filling is set (it will not jiggle if the pan is shaken slightly).
- Cool the bars in the pan completely before dusting with powdered sugar, slicing and serving. These bars also taste excellent after they have been chilled.
