From NPR's program All Things Considered, April 11, 2013. Use either lime or lemon juice or a combination. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 sleeves saltine crackers but that measurement was not accepted. Not having any in the house, I Googled it and found that there are 38-40 crackers per sleeve. Ingredients:
60 saltine crackers |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk |
4 egg yolks |
1/2 cup lime juice |
fresh whipped cream |
coarse sea salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Crush crackers finely but not to dust. use food processor or your hands. Add sugar, then knead in butter until crumbs hold together like dough. Press into 8 pie pan. Chill 15 minutes, then bake 18 minute or until crust colors a little.
3. While crust is cooling (it doesn't need to be cold), beat egg yolks into milk, then beat in citrus juice until completely combined. Pour into shell and bake 16 minutes until filling has set. Chill completely before slicing. Serve with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkling of sea salt.
