Default Lemon squares

I'm making Betty Crocker lemon squares. It calls for two eggs:

"Beat granulated sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice, baking powder, salt
and eggs with electric mixer on high speed about 3 minutes or until
light and fluffy. Pour over hot crust."

Are we talking a meringue? I tried this before, beating with my whip
for 3 mins (sore arm!). It was yer typical foamy very light yellow,
like whole eggs get when beaten. While my bars tasted good, they dang
sure didn't look anything like the pics:

I know darn well I overbaked them.
