Lemon Coconut Squares

2nd layer

2 eggs

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cup coconut

1 cup chopped pecans

2 Tbsp flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

beat together.  Spread on top of 1st layer and bake 20 minutes more.

3rd layer

1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)

1 Tbsp melted butter
