Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
A shortbread crust gives a rich, buttery contrast to the tart lime filling. Grandma sometimes used her favorite shortbread recipe, then pressed the dough into the pie plate and baked it for just 15 minutes. She let the crust cool completely before spooning the lime filling into it.
