Taste of Home entry by Lynn Hamilton says," No one ever guesses these sweet dessert squares are made with zucchini!"
I have change up the recipe to suit my family's taste, but the concept is still the same- I just added a few different ingredients.

- Preheat oven to 375^.
Crust:
Combine dry ingredients, cut in cold shortening. Place egg yolks in a measuring cup and stir with fork until blended. Stir in enough cold water to make just a cupful. Sprinkle gradually over dry ingredients; toss with fork to make soft dough.
Roll out 1/2 the dough and line a jelly roll pan (15x10-inch)with this 1/2 on bottom and up sides and lip. Set aside. - Filling:
In a large saucepan, bring zucchini and lemon juice to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Drain. Stir in the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg cream of tartar and flour. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Stir in nuts and raisins if using. - Spread filling evenly over crust. Dot top with a little butter.
Top with remaining crust. Seal and crimp edges. Brush with a little milk and sprinkle top with sugar and cut vents for steam or prick top all over with a fork. - Bake in oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, Cool on wire rack.
Combine drizzle ingredients and drizzle over top when cool. Cut into squares.
