Hi Jhoniel, thanks for your comment!
If I don’t have corn oil po can I use butter or margarine? Or vegetable oil?
Yes I think you can use butter or margarine or vegetable oil.
Excellent recipe and super easy to make and simple ingredients. I will give you 5 stars!!! Thank you
Hi Sherryl, thanks! pls share the recipe!
what size of pie pan did you use
Hi Anna, you can use the standard 9 inch pie pan.
Crust needs more binding like margarine, IMO. It’s was like uraro/pulvoron, powdery texture. But filling is good, not so sweet like other recipes. The cheese added flavour. You may use wax papers when rolling your crust. It makes it easier to transfer to the pan and as top layer.
Do i oven the crust without filling or with filling?
Yes with the filling.
