Combine flour and baking powder. In large mixer bowl beat butter and sugar
until blended. Beat in eggs, lemon peel, almond extract and saffron. Beat
in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in almonds.

Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a 12x2x1inch loaf. Place 6
inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Beat the egg white until
foamy. Brush over tops of loaves. Bake in 375F oven 20 to 25 minutes or
until light brown. Cool on cookie sheet about 1 hour. Cut each loaf
diagonally into 1/2inch thick slices. Lay slices, cut side down, on
