Lime Meringue Pie

I'm a lime freak. This is a nice change from the lemon version.

In a large bowl add flour and cut in butter until crumbly.

Mix in yolks and enough cold water to make a smooth dough.

Wrap in plastic and chill for 15 minutes.

Roll out and line a pie plate , pre bake in a 400 oven for 15 to 17 minutes.

Use weights or rice or beans.

Filling-------------------.

Combine sugar , cornstarch , water and lime juice in a medium saucepan.

Whisk until smooth.

Stir in yolks and butter until well combined.

Gradually add boiling water.

Bring mixture to a boil.

Reduce and simmer for 1 minute.

Remove from heat.

Add zest and food coloring if using.

Mix well.

Turn into the cooled pie shell.

For meringue------------------------.

Beat whites until stiff peaks form.

Slowly beat in sugar until dissolved.

Spoon meringue onto filling.

Bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes or until meringue is light brown.
