Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST:
1/2 cups Butter
1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
1 cup Flour
1/8 teaspoons Salt
_____
FOR THE LIME FILLING:
1 whole Lime, Zested
1/2 cups Sugar
1-1/2 Tablespoon Lime Juice
1-1/2 Tablespoon Flour
1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 whole Egg
_____
FOR THE LEMON FILLING:
1/2 whole Large Lemon, Zested
1/2 cups Sugar
1-1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1-1/2 Tablespoon Flour
1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 whole Egg

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the pan (either an 8x8 Pyrex, or individual square tins).
2

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.
3

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.)
4

To recreate my 2-color look, put the tip of a spatula diagonally in the square cavity and spoon in about 1-1/2 tablespoon of the lime on one side of the spatula and 1-1/2 tablespoon of lemon on the other. (For the pyrex, just pour it all in.)
5

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.
