Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for every cup of flour used. This will help achieve the same rise and texture in your pie.
Is it possible to make this pie dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the milk with almond milk or coconut milk, and use a dairy-free margarine or coconut oil instead of margarine. This will still yield a delicious pie without the dairy.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It should also have a slight jiggle, indicating it's set but still moist inside.
