2 tablespoons flour
4 egg
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
6 tablespoons lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 frozen 9-inch deep-dish pie shell
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Position oven rack in lower third of oven.

Stir together sugar and flour in a bowl. Add to eggs in another bowl and beat until light in color and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
