Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Nonstick cooking spray

1 cup plus 4 1/2 teaspoons sifted all-purpose

flour

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sifted confectioners

sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup cold unsalted margarine -- cut into bits

2 tablespoons ice water

1 large egg

1 large egg white

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1/8 teaspoon salt

 

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 8 " x 8 " x 2 " baking pan with

the cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup flour, the 1/3 cup

confectioners sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of the baking powder. Using a fork or

pastry blender, cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Sprinkle with the ice water and mix just until a small lump of dough pinched

between the fingers holds together.

3. Pat the dough evenly over the bottom of the pan and bake for 20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, in the small bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg, egg

white, granulated sugar, and lemon juice at moderate speed for 2 minutes or

until the mixture is light and smooth. Whisk in the remaining 4 1/2 teaspoons

flour, the lemon rind, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and the salt.

5. When the dough has finished baking, quickly remove the pan from the oven

and pour the lemon mixture over it. Immediately return it to the oven, and bake

for 25 minutes or until the lemon topping has set.

6. Place the pan upright on a wire rack and cool to room temperature -- about

1 hour. Cut into squares and sift the remaining 1 tablespoon confectioners

sugar over the top before removing from the pan. Makes 16 squares.
