    Lime Pie with Pecan Crust


    Source of Recipe


    www

    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 rum

    Preheat 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.

    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.
