Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Using a food processor, pulse cold margerine or butter, brown sugar, almonds, flour, and salt until it is blended together and has a sandy appearance.
• Pat crust into a 9x13 pan (i give it a spray to keep everything from sticking and prefer to use a glass pan). It may seem very dry, but that is ok.
• Bake crust for 20 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
• Beat your eggs with a fork or whisk, then stir in lemon juice. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. I use 1.5 cups sugar and they are very zingy. If you have any doubts, or know that you prefer slightly less zing, try 1.75 cups of sugar!
• Remove crust from oven and reduce heat to 320°F This step is important!
• mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Pour mixture on hot crust, and return to oven for 22 minutes, or until filling has set. It might still look a little wobbly in the center, but it will firm up a bit while it cools.
• Cool, dust with icing sugar (You will need it if you used the lesser amount of sugar!).
• Pucker up! :D.
