Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen berries, but make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the baking dish. This will help prevent a soggy bottom in the pot pie.
What can I do if I don’t have self-rising flour?
If self-rising flour is unavailable, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will mimic the properties of self-rising flour in your recipe.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this pot pie dairy-free, substitute the butter with a dairy-free margarine or coconut oil and use a non-dairy milk, such as almond or oat milk, in place of sweet milk. This will keep the dessert delicious while accommodating dietary restrictions.
