- Add lime peel; mix well. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to cream mixture.
- Press into a greased 13in x 9in x 2in baking pan.
- Bake at 350 for 13-15mins. or just until edges are slightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Combine the flour and baking powder.
- Add to egg mixture with lemon juice and peel; beat until frothy.

- **The easy way of cutting these bars, refrigerate before cutting.
- **Also, the recipe serving varies on how big you cut the bars ;o)
