Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two 8inch square pans with aluminum foil and
butter the inside of each foillined pan. Mix flour, sugar and salt. Add
nuts and butter and blend until it reaches the consistency of fine meal.
Press into the bottom of each filelined pan. Bake until at 350F until
light brown around the edges.

While you wait, make the filling. Blend the filling ingredients listed
above (sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, baking powder, salt). Pour the
filling into the hot crust and bake until the edges of the filling begin to
brown, about 20 minutes. Lift the foil and dessert from the pan and gently
take the foil off the edges. Cut desserts into squares (about 16 per pan).
Sift powdered sugar over the squares and serve.
