• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350° and grease and lightly flour a square 8-inch baking pan.
In medium bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and pecans. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Reserve about 1/3 cup of the crumbs and press remaining gently into bottom of prepared pan. Bake at 350° for about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Beat in egg, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Pour mixture over the baked crust; sprinkle reserved crumbs over the batter. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes, or until set. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into small squares then cut each square in half diagonally.
