Reserve 1 Tbsp walnuts. Mix remaining nuts with flour, butter and granulated sugar until well blended. Press into bottom of 9x13 pan. Bake in 325º oven for 15 minutes, cool completely.

Personal Notes:
Because not everyone in our household loved pistachio growing up, Mom would make a second 9x13 pan and substitute a graham cracker crust for the walnut crust and then substitute chocolate pudding for the pistachio. Everyone was happy!
