Method

1

Combine the flour, powdered sugar, butter, and egg to form a dough, then chill for 1 hour.

2

Roll out the dough, fit it into a tart pan, and dock with a fork. Blind bake with weights at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 10 minutes. Let cool.

3

Zest and juice the lemons and limes.

4

Whisk the eggs, sugar, citrus juice, and zest together, and cook over a double boiler until thickened.

5

Remove from heat, whisk in the butter until smooth, and strain. Let cool slightly.

6

Pour into the prepared crust and chill for at least 4 hours.

7

For the meringue, whip the egg whites and sugar over a double boiler, then beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, adding a splash of lemon juice.

8

Spread the meringue over the tart and brown with a kitchen torch or under the broiler at 220°C (425°F) for 2–3 minutes.

9

Serve chilled.
