"This recipe is so easy, even I can do it. I first had it at a meeting of the Japanese American Historical Society of Southern California made by Nisei member, Hazel Taniguchi. Along with my 7-Layer Rainbow Jello, it’s one of the few dishes I’m able to bring to potlucks." – Jenni Kuida Bottom layer: 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup chopped nuts 1 cup softened butter/margarine Combine flour, sugar and nuts.
