LEMON SQUARES
Yield: 16 servings (1 square per serving) Source: "Forbidden Foods Diabetic Cooking" INGREDIENTS - 1 cup cake flour - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter - 2 tablespoons canola oil - 3 tablespoons low-fat (1%) buttermilk - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/8 teaspoon salt - 2 eggs - 2/3 cup granulated sugar - 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, toss together the cake flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and zest. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Gradually add the oil, stirring with a fork until well blended. Sprinkle with the buttermilk and stir just until the dough begins to hold together. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake until light golden along the edges, 13 to 15 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and lemon juice until frothy. Add the reserved flour mixture and beat just until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture over the hot crust and bake until the top is set and the edges are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool completely in the pan and cut into 16 squares.

Here's a recipe for lemon squares originally posted by Nancy Huffines in alt.support.diet.low-carb: Nancy's Low Carb Lemon Squares (bar cookies) Crust: 3/4 cup almond flour 1/4 cup oat flour 1/2 cup Splenda 1/2 cup softened butter 1/2 teaspoon guar or xanthan gum (optional, just helps hold it together better) Filling: 2 large eggs 1 cup Splenda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons lemon juice Blend crust ingredients and pat into a Pam sprayed 8x8 baking pan. Bake for about 18 minutes or until very lightly browned and set (not shiny any more). Beat the ingredients for the filling (topping) for about a minute, pour evenly over the pre-baked crust and bake again for about 15-20 minutes or until barely browned and set. Let cool at room temperature, cut into 16 even squares, eat one and cover the rest. Keep cool in the refrigerator. .................................................. .................. The full thread starts at this link: http://www.google.com/groups?q=group....rr.com&rnum=1 (shorter url: http://tinyurl.com/x3ja) A later message in the thread lists the carb count at 2.549 g per serving (assuming 16 servings). Later another poster made the lemon squares using the zero-carb syrup concentrate from www.locarber.com instead of the splenda, reducing the carb count even further: http://www.google.com/groups?q=group...guy.com&rnum=1 (shorter url: http://tinyurl.com/x3jl) Em |
