Directions
For crust, combine flour, splenda and salt. Cut in EarthBalance. Drizzle water into flour mixture while stirring until the dough comes together. Press into 18 backing cups
. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 15 minutes before pouring the topping over it.
For the lemon filling, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. In another bowl, combine eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, splenda and palm sugar. Add the lemon mixture to the flour mixture and combine (I used a whisk) until flour is completely dissolved. Pour over slightly cooled crust and return to oven. Bake 15 minutes then remove from oven and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Return to oven and bake 5 minutes more.
