COLD LIME TART.
Crust: (makes a big tart!)
2 1/2 cups & 2 tablespoon white flour
150gm (1 1/2 packets) margarine
a little water
Mix oil into the flour (all the oil lumps should be mashed down). Slowly add a little water. The dough should be firm yet workable (not sticky). Roll out into a 1/4” thickness, place a pan and make 3/4” high edges. Cook in medium hot oven for 30 to 45 minutes. ( The crust should be hard and golden).
Filling:
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup / 1 tablespoon corn flour
1 teaspoon white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
3/4 cup lime juice - strained
2 tablespoon oil
First mix water, corn flour, white flour, salt and sugar together ( don't worry about cornflour lumps, they dissolve by themselves once heated). Bring to a boil (stir throughout) and cook for 3 to 5 minutes (stirring). Remove from heat and stir in the oil and slowly add the lime juice. Cool down to room temperature. Pour into crust. Place in refrigerator until cold.
[* depending on the season, limes are more or less sour. You can put more or less juice according to your taste].
