Description
Use a round baking dish with low sides, 22–24 cm in diameter. The pie should be jelly-like before removing it from the oven, and it will thicken as it cools.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 10.6 oz
- Butter - 5.3 oz
- Lime - 2 pieces
- Egg white - 2 pieces
- Sweetened Condensed Milk with Coffee - 14.1 oz
- Salt - a pinch
- Water - 5 tablespoons
Step by Step guide
Step 1
To prepare the dough: chop the cold butter and sift the flour, sprinkling it with a pinch of salt. Cut the dough until it resembles crumbs.
Step 2
Make a 'well' in the dough, add 5 tablespoons of ice water to the center, and quickly knead the dough.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a circle and place it in the baking dish. It needs to be pricked with a fork and baked with weights (I usually use beans) for 15 minutes, then dried without weights for another 5–10 minutes.
Step 4
For the filling: mix the juice of two limes with two eggs, add the condensed milk, and stir. It will form a jelly-like mixture.
Step 5
Pour it onto the hot crust and bake for 20 minutes at 320°F. Cool, dust with powdered sugar, or decorate.
