Time-Warp Lemon Squares

Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour(myself brown rice flour)
5 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup granulated sugar(blackstrap molasses or agave honey)

Filling:
3 egg equivalents, prepared (I use Ener-G Egg Replacer)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon real vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2-3 lemons, zested and juiced

Topping:
powdered sugar, optional

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For crust: In a bowl, combine crust ingredients and press into 8 X 8" pan. Bake for 15 minutes.

2. For filling: While crust is baking, beat the egg substitute (follow directions of your brand) in a bowl until foamy. Add the remainder of the filling ingredients and mix together. Pour over the crust, and bake 20 minutes more, or until set. Cool.

3. For topping: Sift powdered sugar on top, if you'd like, and enjoy the trip down memory lane!

Fancier version: Add a layer of vegan cream cheese mixed with a little powdered sugar over the baked crust before you pour in the filling. (You may have to cool the crust a bit before spreading the layer out.)

Serves: Makes 16 squares, Preparation time: 40 minutes
