Tips for Making the Best Key Lime Tartlets

  • Use fresh key limes. Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or frozen lime juice. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the butter is cold. Cold butter will help to create a flaky crust. If the butter is too warm, it will make the crust tough.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Preheat the oven before baking the tartlets. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
  • Let the tartlets cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from cracking.
