Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust bakes, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, lime juice, and lime zest in a separate bowl until smooth.
Pour the lime filling over the hot crust and return to oven.
Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles.
Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and cut into bars.
