A few years ago my roommate and I decided to try different Lime flavored things and we came across this recipe. I thought it would be appropriate for St Patrick's Day. Give them a try and let me know what you think.
Ingredients:
• Bottom Layer:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
.
• Top Layer:
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice (approximately 1 large lime)
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest (optional)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 to 5 drops green food coloring
Preparation:
For the Bottom:
Mix together flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the butter or margarine until crumbly and the mixture clings together. Spread the dough in and 8x8-inch pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. While the crust is baking prepare the topping layer.
For the Topping:
In a mixing bowl, slightly beat the eggs. Add the lime juice, zest, sugar, flour, and food coloring. Mix well and pour the mixture over the hot baked crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 325 degrees. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cool and cut into small squares.
Yield: 8 to 12 servings
Note: Recipe can be doubled and made in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
