Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Lime zest
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour and salt. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, lemon zest, lime zest, and orange zest for the filling. Pour over the baked crust.
4. Bake for an additional 25 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and orange peel instead of lime. Dust the bars with powdered sugar when they are completely cool.
5. Cut into 2 inch squares.
