Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
To make the Crust, combine all Crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool slightly.
To make the Filling, whisk together the eggs and Granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the Lemon juice, Lime juice, Lemon zest, and Lime zest to the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
Gently whisk in the All-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the Filling over the warm crust.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Dust with Powdered Sugar Garnish before serving.
