- 1. Preheat oven to 180 deg C, Gas Mark 4
- 2. Crush the biscuits with a rolling pin. Lightly beat one of the egg whites and stir onto the crumbs with the melted butter. Tip into a 20cm flan dish and spread out to cover the base, pressing down well. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, then leave to cool
- 3. Blend the cornflour with a little of the water, lime zest and juice in a pan. Then, stir in the cornflour. Bring to the boil, stirring until it thickens. Remove from the heat and sweeten to taste.
