Persian Lime Pie adapted from Key Lime recipe

 I'm determined to make my own version. I just read 2 dozen key lime pie recipes...Geek Out!

1 (12-fl. oz.) can evaporated milk

 3 egg yolks     

 1/4 c sugar  

 1 heaping tablespoon lime

3/4 cup Persian (supermarket) limes freshly  juiced

1 10 inch whole wheat press in oil crust 

  **********************************   

 1 cup of whole wheat flour     

 4 Tablespoons corn oil   

 3 tablespoons brown sugar (the sugar is the glue, holding the crust together)         

 2 Tbs cold water or milk (if needed to moisten)      

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Mix flour and oil with fingers so it is pebbly then add a little bit more so it becomes like Play-Doh consistency. Press into pie pan with fingers. Prick dough with fork and make pressed fork pattern on edge. It is very sticky and hard to handle but hang in there, it will be delicious. Pre-bake at 350 for 5 minutes.      Preheat oven to 350°F. 

Whisk together evaporated milk and next 3 ingredients until well blended. Pour mixture into piecrust.     Step 2      Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or until pie is set. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Chill before serving
