Beat together with a wire whisk until well blended. Pour into hot crust. Return to the oven and bake 12 minutes at 350 F. Cool.

If desired:

1 Lime

Pour the powdered sugar into a small strainer and sprinkle evenly over the top of the tart.

 

Slice the lime into thin slices and add around the edge of the tart.

This tart is based on Aunt Lois’ recipe for Lemon Bars which were a common treat in Ree Heights.
