Keylime

from: keylime

The recipe Jazz used to make Key Lime Pie when
we were in Sarasota at New Year's, 2004

Filling:
4       egg yolks
2       eggs
1 1/2 C sugar
1/4 C   cornstarch
pinch   salt
1 C     lime juice
tons of lime zest
1/4 C   water
3 T     butter

Whip eggs & sugar together, then add rest of
ingredients.  Cook 7-9 minutes gently simmering
until thickened.  Pour into suitable crust
and chill before serving.

Crust:  - he used this one:
1 1/4 C flour
1 T     sugar
1/4 t   salt
1/2 C   fat (half shortening, half butter or ???)
3 T     water

That was good; very short & flakey crust.

Make crust in the usual way and bake it till
fully done.

Topping:  We didn't use any topping, as far
as I remember.  Could use meringue or whipped 
cream or just a little crumbled crystallized
ginger or whatever.
