5 tablespoons ice water
Filling:

Directions:
•
To prepare crust, weigh or lightly spoon 6.75 ounces (about 1 1/2 cups)
flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 6.75 ounces
flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a food processor; process
until blended. Add 6 tablespoons butter, and pulse until the mixture
resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slowly pour 5 tablespoons ice
water through food chute; process until dough forms a ball. Shape dough
into a 6-inch circle. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill 30 minutes.

Roll dough out to a 10-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place
dough into a 9-inch round removable-bottom tart pan. Fold edges under;
press dough against sides of pan. Line bottom of dough with a piece of
foil; arrange pie weights or dried beans on foil. Bake at 400° for 10
minutes or until edge is lightly browned. Remove pie weights and foil;
reduce oven temperature to 375°. Bake an additional 15 minutes or until
crust is golden. Cool 10 minutes.
• To prepare filling, combine 1/2
cup sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at
medium-high speed 3 minutes or until thick. Weigh or lightly spoon 1.1
ounces (about 1/4 cup) flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a
knife. Add flour, Satsuma orange rind, and the next 3 ingredients
(through melted butter); stir just until combined. Pour mixture into
cooled crust. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until filling is set.
Remove from oven; cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325°.
•
To prepare meringue, beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until
soft peaks form using clean, dry beaters. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1
tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in
vanilla. Spread meringue evenly over filling, sealing to edge of crust.
