Lime Tart

I made the edge a little too high. Try keeping it at 1 inch high not more. This is my family's favorite! Sounds complicated but it isn't. I make all kinds of variations using the same dough.

Ingredient

Food ration :

8 servings

Cooking time :

1 hour

1 cup

Butter

1 cup

Sugar

2 1/2 cup

Flour

yolks

2 tsp

Baking Powder

2 can

Condensed Milk

large limes (or 3 small ones)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Start by mixing the yolks, sugar and room temperature butter together.

* Step 2

Start adding the flour mixed with the baking powder little by little and keep mixing with a fork until it becomes a little harder. Usually after 1 1/2 cups of flour.

* Step 3

Continue working on the dough with your hands and add the rest of the flour until the dough doesn't stick to your hands. You may have to add a bit of extra flour.

* Step 4

I use the Springform pan that open on the sides (see picture). Grease it with butter and add flour.

* Step 5

Place dough on base.

* Step 6

Then add the sides. It should be about 1 inch high.

* Step 7

Since the dough has baking powder in it, we will need to put some weight over it while baking. Place a piece of parchment paper and some beans or rice on top of it. (see picture)

* Step 8

Bake at 350?F for 20 minutes.

* Step 9

Remove the parchment paper with the beans and bake for 10 more minutes. The tops of sides should be golden.

* Step 10

To prepare the filling, mix the condensed milk and the juice of the limes together. You will notice that the condensed milk will become thicker as you put the lime juice.
