			Directions:
			Preheat oven to 350 F.    Lightly grease 8-inch square pan.    Sift 1 cup flour with salt.  Add 1/4 cup sugar.  Add butter;  mix until smooth.  Press into bottom of pan.  Bake 15 minutes.    While pastry is baking, prepare topping:  Beat eggs well.  Gradually beat in remaining sugar;  beat together until fluffy.   Sift remaining flour with baking powder.  Add to creamed mixture;  beat well.  Add almond extract, coconut and nuts.  Spread quickly over pastry;  return to oven.  Bake 20 minutes or until browned.    Mark into squares or triangles while still warm;  leave in pan to cool.
