Time-Warp Lemon Squares

I got this recipe from vegweb.com, not sure whose recipe it is, but it is FANTASTIC! Tastes a like lemony cheesecake if done right!

Crust:
1 cup all purpose flour
5 tablespoon margarine (I used coconut oil, but can also use any neutral oil)
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 teaspoon real vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 egg equivalents, prepared (I use Ener-G Egg Replacer) (I used 3 whole real eggs)
zest and juice of two fresh juicy lemons (three if on the dry side)
I also added a tsp of lemon extract, but it probably isn't necessary

Topping:
powdered sugar (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Combine crust ingredients and press into 8 X 8 inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes. While baking, beat the egg substitute (follow directions of your brand) or Eggs until foamy. Add the remainder of the ingredients for filling and mix together. Pour over the crust, and bake 20 minutes more, or until set and a tiny bit golden brown. Cool on counter, then put in fridge for an hour at least. Sift powdered sugar on top, if you'd like, and enjoy the trip down memory lane!

I think these would be fantastic with some raspberry sauce on them!
Serves: Makes 16 squares

Preparation time: 40 minutes plus 1 hour to cool
