Hello Nasim,
Thank you for sharing your recipes. I tried the chicken pies and pera and they turned out to taste delicious.
May I please request you to indicate ingredients in cup measurements rather than pound; for example in the pera recipe the milk powder and butter were indicated in lbs (pounds). Could you please in brackets show the equivalent measurement in cups please? It was confusing. Thank you so much.
What kind of milk and can you use cold or warm milk
Use Homo milk or evaporated milk. either is fine. Use it cold.
