Tart key-lime filling in a biscuit crust, the Florida classic that sets by acid. Golden-crusted and generous, with clean slices and no sogginess. Good warm or at room temperature the same day.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar2 tbsp
Lime2
Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped
Condensed Milk1/2 cup

Instructions

1
Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.
2
Toss the butter through the flour, add just enough cold water to hold, and press into a disc.
3
Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the lime.
4
Work the lime and condensed milk into the dough, folding gently for even distribution.
5
Bake at 190 C / 375 F for 35-45 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling; cool before slicing so the filling sets.
