    • 1/4 c. Powdered sugar
    • 4 Tbsp. Cream cheese
    • 3 Tbsp. Vegetable oil Filling: ---
    • 3 x Egg whites
    • 3/4 c. Sugar
    • 1 1/2 Tbsp. Lemon zest -- grated
    • 2 Tbsp. All-purpose flour
    • 1/2 tsp Baking pwdr
    • 1/4 tsp Salt
    • 1/3 c. Lemon juice -- fresh Powdered sugar

    Directions

    1. CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together cake flour and powdered sugar. Using a pastry blender cut cream cheese into the flour mix till crumbly. Gradually add in oil, stirring with a fork. Toss till proportionately moistened. (The mix will be crumbly.) Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 min, or possibly till golden brown colored.
    2. FILLING: In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, sugar and lemon zest together with an electric mixer till smooth. In a small bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, baking pwdr and salt. Add in to the egg-white mix and beat till blended. Fold in lemon juice. Pour over the warm crust and bake for about 20 min longer, or possibly till the top is light golden and set. Let cold in the pan on a rack. Spray a sharp knife with non-stick cooking spray and cut into squares. Dust with sifted powdered sugar.
    3. Yield: About 16 squares.
