March Cooking Dessert

I have made these annually for at least 30 years. So good.
Lemon Sours

3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup sifted powdered sugar

Mix flour and butter to a fine crumb.  Sprinkle evenly in an 11 by 7 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Beat eggs, mix in brown sugar, coconut, chopped nuts, baking powder, and vanilla.  Spread on first mixture as you take it from the oven. Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Mix lemon juice, rind, and powdered sugar to make a creamy smooth mixture.  Spread over top as soon as it is removed from the oven.

Cool, cut into squares, and serve.
