Instructions
-
11. Shortbread Base Preparation: In a bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and work with a pastry cutter or fingertips until you get a coarse crumb texture, achieving that homemade flavor.
-
22. Base Baking: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan lined with parchment paper for a professional look. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool for a few minutes.
-
33. Filling: While the base bakes, in a medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, fresh key lime juice, and zest until well combined. Sift the flour over the mixture and whisk until smooth.
-
44. Filling and Second Bake: Pour the filling mixture over the slightly cooled shortbread base, ensuring an even layer for a professional finish. Bake again at 180°C (350°F) for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
-
55. Final Presentation: Let the bars cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 1 hour. Once cold, cut into squares. Generously dust with powdered sugar, ensuring a uniform coat. Serve two bars on a clean white plate.
