Recipe

Preheat oven to 350�F.

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 350�F 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.
