Preheat oven to 350°F.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack; cool 10 minutes.
In large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla and the remaining 1/4 cup flour. Pour over baked crust.
Return to oven; bake for 22 to 24 minutes, until center is just set. Transfer to wire rack; cool completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Just before serving, cut into bars; dust tops with confectioners' sugar. Store in refrigerator.
