Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the evaporated milk with sour cream or yogurt. If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure to knead the dough well for the best texture, and let it rest for a bit before rolling it out. This helps to relax the gluten and makes rolling easier.
