INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 1/2 cup light butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granular
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
PREPARATION:
PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly oil a cookie sheet and set aside.
BLEND together butter, SPLENDA® Granular, and vanilla in a medium sized mixing bowl until butter is softened. Add egg substitute, lemon juice and zest. Mix briefly. Add flour, cornmeal, baking powder and nutmeg. Mix using a hand mixer on low speed (or by hand) until dough is formed. Do not over mix.
REMOVE dough from bowl and divide in half. Roll each half into a log approx. 1 inch thick in diameter. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 1-2 hours, allowing dough to chill and become firm.
