Press firmly and evenly into pan using fingertips. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Combine remaining 1/2 cup flour and baking powder. Set aside. Combine eggs, 2 cups sugar, lemon rind (if desired) and lemon juice. Stir well. Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture and pour over baked crust.
