Hi Ann, do you beat eggs, butter and sugar with an electric whisk? Thanks
Hi Ai Li, Yes, you need to use an electric mixer to whisk the step two.

Hi Ann,
Which type of lime? Small or big?
Can use vegetable oil instead of butter?
Hi Teresa, Any type of lime can be used (lime from Malaysia or Australia). The texture will be different if you use vegetable oil.
