Low Calorie Recipe

Ingredients:
3/4 cup sifted all purpose flour (3 ounces)
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
Pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar, divided
One egg yolk
1 tablespoon nonfat yogurt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Two eggs
One egg white
1/2 cup strained fresh lemon juice
Grated zest of one large lemon
1/4 cup all purpose flour
Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:
Position rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 350-degrees. Spray a 13 by 9-inch pan lightly with vegetable oil spray.

Make the crust:
Stir the 3/4-cup of flour, the cornmeal, salt and baking soda together with a whisk to combine. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add 1/3-cup of the sugar and beat at high speed for about one minute or until mixture loses its crumbly texture and begins to form a mass. Beat in the egg yolk, yogurt, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed just until combined. Scrape the bowl and beater. Knead the mixture briefly with your hands to mix thoroughly.

Press the dough evenly into the pan and prick all over with a skewer or fork. If pan is light weight, place on baking sheet. Bake until brown on top, about 20 to 25 minutes.
