Lemon Lime Bars


I can hear you already going what on earth is that?????





Well.....If words like “Bars” make you think, “Ew, weird, clicking away now." Don’t–click away!




Avoiding things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things that taste amazing.





So onto the recipe...

 

First things first



Ingredients:


1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt

Lime Filling:
1 tsp lime zest
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 whole egg
1 jar green food color

Lemon Filling:
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 whole egg










Second things steps...
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the pan (either an 8x8 Pyrex, or individual tins like this)
- With an electric mixer, beat together butter and powdered sugar on medium speed until creamy. Turn the mixer down to low and slowly add the flour and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Press the dough into the pan and bake for 10 minutes
- While the dough is baking, prepare the fillings: in one bowl, mix together the ingredients for the lime filling and in another bowl, mix together the ingredients for the lemon filling. (If you're just going to use an 8x8 Pyrex, go ahead and just mix everything together in 1 bowl)
- To recreate my 2 color look, put the tip of a spatula diagonal in the square cavity and spoon in about 1-1/2 tbsp of the lime on one side of the spatula and 1-1/2 tbsp of lemon on the other. (For the pyrex, just pour it all in)
- Bake for 15 minutes if you're using the mini tins and 20 minutes for the 8x8 Pyrex, or until the filling is slightly golden brown


Now simple disclosure I will on occasion borrow pictures or recipes from other sites if I did not create the recipe or take a picture and I apologize...
