===[[Mise en place]]===

* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 200° C (400° F - gas 6), [fan [[Oven|oven]] 180° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
| For the [[Pastry|pastry]], [[Blend|blend]] the [[Butter|butter]] cubes and [[Flour|flour]] into small crumbs quickly so the [[Butter|butter]] stays cold. In a separate small bowl, combine [[Egg yolks|egg yolks]] with 2 tsbs. water, then [[Blend|blend]] into [[Flour|flour]] crumbs until [[Pastry|pastry]] reached right consistency...this may require a few more drop of water blended into the pastry.
| Roll out cold [[Pastry|pastry]] on floured surface and place on to pie tin. Then [[Refrigerate|refrigerate]] for 30 minutes.
| Prick the bottom of [[Pastry|pastry]] pie bottom and heat [[Oven|oven]] to 200c/180c fan /gas 6 and [[Blind bake|blind bake]] for 15 minutes (my grandmother did not use [[Parchment paper|parchment paper]] or [[Beans|beans]] to keep the [[Pastry|pastry]] from rising..she just pricked the pastry several times right before putting it in the [[Oven|oven]].)
| For the filling, slowly heat [[Guava|guava]] paste, 2 tablespoons of water, [[Sugar|sugar]] and [[Lime juice|lime juice]] for until just blended. Remove from heat.
| Add [[Butter|butter]] and beaten whole [[Egg|egg]] and [[Egg yolks|egg yolks]] to pan. Heat at medium, stirring vigorously for a few minutes until blended and then set the filling aside in the [[Refrigerator|refrigerator]].
| For the [[Meringue|meringue]], whisk [[Egg whites|egg whites]] into stiff peaks, slowly add [[Sugar|sugar]], whisking as you add a bit at a time. Finally whisk in the [[Corn flour|corn flour]] until you have thick glossy peaks.
| Pour the filling in the [[Pastry|pastry]] case, followed by the [[Meringue|meringue]]. [[Bake]] for 18 -20 minutes until the [[Meringue|meringue]] is crisp and slightly coloured.
