Can a 1935 recipe recreate the ultimate citrus pie?
In short: This video features a taste test comparing key lime, lemon, and lime pies. It examines whether historical recipes, such as the 1936 Miami Herald method, can truly compete in a modern flavor showdown.
The video explores the nuances between different citrus pies through a direct comparison. It specifically investigates the historical 1935 Mack's Place Key Lime Pie recipe, which was featured in the October 3, 1936, edition of the Miami Herald.
This classic preparation involves beating egg yolks with lime juice, salt, hot water, and half the sugar, then cooking the mixture in a double boiler until thick. The process is completed by folding stiff egg whites into the yolk mixture before baking the pie in a 350ºF oven until browned.
