Filling
1/3 C. all-purpose flour
1 1/4 C. Splenda granular

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Melt the margarine and stir it into a mixture of the graham cracker
crumbs and Splenda Granular. Press into an 8-inch square pan. Bake
for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.


In a heavy saucepan or double boiler, combine the flour, second
amount of Splenda Granular, water, egg yolks, lemon juice and grated
lemon rind. With a wooden spoon, stir constantly over very low heat
for about 5 minutes.

Beat the egg whites for 30 seconds until frothy, then add the cream
of tartar and beat for a further 2 1/2 minutes. Fold the stiffly
beaten egg whites into the lemon sauce and spread over the cooled
crust. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Bake at 350ºF for
approximately 15 minutes.

Turn off the oven and leave the pan inside for a further 5 minutes or
until the squares are set. Allow to cool; loosen the edges and slice.
Yields 16 squares.
