I ran across this recipe the other day. It is a favorite of mine and it is
from the Pittsburgh Press-July 1985. I characterize it quick and
impressive. Let me know how you like it through e-mail. Louise Gray
Tallahassee Lime Pie with Pecan Crust
1 cup flour
Confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
5 Tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Whipped cream flavored with rumPreheat oven to 350 degrees
SIFT the flour, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and salt into a bowl. Cut into
the butter with a pastry blender (or with a whirl or two in a food processor)
until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the pecans (they do not have to
be ground, but a food processor is excellent for chopping them very fine.)
PRESS the mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie plate and bake for 25
minutes or until the crust is pale gold. Remove from the ove(keep it at 350
degrees) and let cool while you prepare the filling.
TO DO THIS, beat the granulated sugar, eggs, lime juice and peel, baking
powder and a pinch of salt until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell
and bake another 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool,
sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar put through a flour sifter, and
serve with dollops of rum-flavored whipped cream. Makes 8 servings.
