 Categories: Five, Pastry, Pies, Citrus
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
    165 g  (6 oz) McVities; (British
           - biscuit)
     90 g  (2 tb) salted Butter
    125 g  (4 oz) unsalted Butter
    265 g  (9 1/3 oz) raw sugar;
           - divided, 65 g (2 1/4 oz)
           - for the base, 200 g (7 oz)
           - for the lime curd
      3 lg Eggs
    220 ml (8 oz) juice from about 6
           - limes
 
  THE PIE BASE: Using a double boiler, melt the butter
  along with the sugar. In the meantime, reduce the
  biscuits to crumbs without grinding them to dust -
  avoid using a mixer.
  
  When the butter and sugar have melted and combined
  together, pour the mix on the biscuits crumbs and stir
  with a fork until you obtain a paste..
  
  Spread it in a 8" tin over a 1/4" thickness and bake for
  7-10 minutes in an oven heated @ 355ºF/180ºC.
  
  Watch the pie base carefully as it will burn easily in
  the last minutes of baking.
  
  Let it cool down at room temperature.
  
  THE LIME CURD: Press the limes and zest them. Mix the
  zest and the sugar and put them to the mixer.
  
  Then combine all the ingredients aside from the eggs and
  heat them up using a double boiler. As it heats, when the
  butter has melted, mix two tablespoons of the heating
  mixture with the eggs and whip them lightly to combine.
  
  As the water starts boiling, add the whipped eggs to the
  mix and stir steadily and the curd for 10 to 15 minutes
  until the curd thickens to a smooth, homogenous
  consistency; pass the curd through a sieve to filter out
  any zest pieces remaining and to cool down the curd.
  
  Pour the curd in your pie base and let it set. Then
  refrigerate for two hours before serving.
