Crust
1 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cold butter
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Blend 1 cup flour with the sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add 1/2 cup almonds and stir or pulse a few times to mix. Pat into an ungreased 9x9" square pan. Bake at 350º F for 20 minutes.

Filling
2 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond essence
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup flour
