 WHOLEMEAL TARTLETS WITH LIME CURD AND MERINGUE

INGREDIENTS:
(for 20 tartlets)
  • 1 cup regular flour
  • 1 cup wholemeal flour
  • 4 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1.5 sicks butter (150g, unsalted)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon natural yoghurt


  • 2 eggs
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 0.3 cup lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 4 tablespoons butter


  • 2 egg whites
  • 0.5 cup caster sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice


INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Combine the flour, sugar, butter, egg yolks and yoghurt and knead the dough 
thoroughly. Cover it with plastic film and let it cool in the refrigerator for about 
half an hour.
2. Cover forms with melted butter. Divide the dough into 20 pieces, form balls 
and press them against the forms to cover them entirely.

BAKE:   15 min.   190° C

3. Beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the lime juice and zest. Cook it over low heat 
whisking constantly, until the mixture gets thick enough to coat the back of a 
spoon. Remove it from heat, whisk in the butter and let it cool. 
4. Beat the egg whites with the sugar and lemon juice until stiff. Put heaped 
spoons of the meringue on baking paper.

BAKE:   50 min.   120° C


5. Fill the tartlets with the lime curd and top them with the crumbled meringue.
