Did you join 2 videos cos at first you had blue cutex and in the end white and red! Well thanks for sharing and pls why did you add water to the egg for the egg wash? As you well know we all learn every day. Thanks.
@@AWOFOFORMBARadioTV379 Hello, sharp eyes you got there! 😂😂 I had a nail appointment hence the change. For the egg wash, Adding a tablespoon of water to the egg wash helps thin it out for easier application and ensures an even, golden finish without making it too thick or dark. I hope this helps…..and you’re welcome. 😊
@@OgonaJennifer Hello, it depends on the amount of meat pie you want to make. In the video, I use 500 grams of flour & 250 grams of butter. If you use 1 kg of flour, your butter measurement should be 500 grams. I hope this helps. 😊
At I will be making it my self now instead of buying always❤❤
Let’s keep the vibe going❤
@@igstarcomedy7934 I’m glad I could help. Thank you for your kind words. 😊🙏
