Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/4 cup cold water
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp lightly salted butter
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 1/2 tbsp key lime zest
1/2 cup key lime juice
3 eggs, room temp, separated
2 tbsp milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425
Combine the sugar, 1 c of water, and the butter in a double boiler and heat until steaming (but not boiling)
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and remaining water to make a paste, and add to the sugar mixture.
Add the zest and juice to the sugar mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until thick.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the milk.
Add a small amount of the hot mix to the egg yolks and blend.
Add the yolks to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes (until the egg flavor is gone).
Remove from heat, cool slightly, and pour into an already-baked crust.
Spread meringue evenly over the filling, careful to seal the edges.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the meringue is browned.
