4 limes |
3 eggs |
1 cup caster sugar |
125g unsalted butter, chopped |
2 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, partially thawed |
Directions:
1. Finely grate rind from limes and then juice (you need about 1/2 cup).
2. place juice, eggs, sugar, butter and 1/2 rind into heatproof bowl.
3. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water but donlt let the base touch the water.
4. Stir continually for 15-20 mins until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, similar to custard.
5. If you just want this as curd, put the curd into a sterilised jar and seal.
6. Otherwise, proceed as follows!
7. For the pastry tarts, preheat the oven to 200degC.
8. Cut rounds from the pastry using a 7cm wide fluted cutter.
9. Line a 12 hole patty pan with pastry rounds.
