Sent to me by a viewer, Susan. It is a recipe by Betty Shimabukuro from the book "Hawai'i Cooks with Taro."

1 cup melted butter or margarine
1-3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1 pound fresh poi, undiluted
4 cups mochiko (sweet rice flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

Combine butter, sugar and eggs in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add coconut milk, then poi, stirring until incorporated.

Combine mochiko and baking powder, then add gradually to wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. Mixture will be very stiff, but keep at it.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour.

Cool, then cut, using a plastic knife to prevent sticking. Makes about 4 dozen squares.

I was not impressed. It did not taste anything like kulolo. I am still on my search!
