Absolutely delicious!! Can't wait to do this for my mum's birthday.

[@confidenceoparaocha4226]

All purpose flour???😃I love you Flo. As for the sauce I will use salmon fish as I don't eat meat, and thicker I will use diced sweet potatoes. You are a life saver. Thank you. Please always make vegan/vegetarian versions for people like mua.

[@CindysHomeKitchen]

Love coconut!Delicious!!keep up the great work!:)

[@ossiapatricia7848]

Thanks for the recipes please how can I prepare dry powder coconut milk

[@sangnyuysuife5423]

Hello aunty Flo,can one use coconut milk instead of flour?

[@etebomnseyo6771]

Great! Well done! Cheers

[@jennie849]

Thanks... How come we use butter for the coconut version, but not (rather we hv to use margarine)for the normal meatpie? Thanks :)

[@FloChinyere]

You can use butter or margarine for each of them.

[@Alycanj]

Thank you, I love all your videos. Is this dough ok to use in making fried apple pies?

[@FloChinyere]

I think it will be able to withstand shallow frying.

[@niimaaliu8551]

thanks for sharing. I'm on low carb diet what can I use in place of plain flour please

[@FloChinyere]

Niimza the thing is that coconut flour is hard to hold with most low carb friendly ingredients. You can try almond flour but you need to use a very high ratio of almond flour to coconut flour for you to get a dough that you can manipulate. And that defeats the whole aim of calling it coconut meat pie.

[@niimaaliu8551]

Thank you

[@susanadam6511]

Using the coconut flour to make meat pie with all the above ingredients but my dough seem to be breaking up. What am I doing wrong? Can you please help me? Secondly can coconut flour alone be used for any dough or pastry snack? I find the coconut flour is quite different from the usual flour in texture.

[@FloChinyere]

Susan using only coconut flour for baking will not work because coconut flour is gluten free. Gluten is the substance in flour that makes it hold when molding. Gluten is basically the starch. And since it is absent in coconut flour, it will never hold on its own. So that's why I mixed coconut flour with plain flour in this video. If you do not mix it with something that holds, it will always fall apart. I have tried mixing coconut flour with almond flour to get a low carb version of this pie because almond flour holds more than coconut flour yet it did not work. Yes coconut flour has that texture because it does not contain gluten.

[@susanadam6511]

All Nigerian Recipes thank you for your quick response. I am manning the Nigerian meat pie using coconut flour, plain flour, butter, salt, baking powder, coconut milk just like the video in KZbin but my dough is breaking even when mixing it together in the dough form which I have done for over 1hr and it’s of course breaking up when rolling it. What have we done wrong? Please help I don’t want to throw this dough away like I did yesterday when I tried to make a dough

[@FloChinyere]

Susan Adam oh ok. When you wrote that you were using coconut flour I thought you used only coconut flour. In that case, once you use the exact quantities of the plain flour and coconut flour that I stated in the list of ingredients at time 00:07, it will hold. Please note that the coconut flour is seven eighth of a cup while the all purpose flour is 3 and a half cups. If it does not hold then it's probably from the all purpose flour you are using, just keep adding all purpose flour till it holds.

[@susanadam6511]

All Nigerian Recipes thank you so much for your quick response. It’s very much appreciated. I think maybe I will just add more plain flour to my coconut flour.

[@ChefRafi]

Wow! Any Yorubas here?

[@badex11]

present :)

[@TheDELE1960]

Flo can I use Tapioca flour in place of all purpose flour?

[@darlingraychel8790]

I don't eat regular flour! Do you think just coconut flour can achieve this?

[@FloChinyere]

Not at all Racheal. Coconut flour is gluten free so will not hold on its own. You must add something to it to hold it hence why I added plain flour. I have tried it with almond flour but it did not hold. You can try other ingredients that hold.

[@xelykoyax2997]

Racheal Igwe she said in the video...that we can use 2 parts of coconut flour by 1 of oats flour......that is very healthy and no gluten and no starch

[@xelykoyax2997]

Racheal Igwe oatmeal

[@FloChinyere]

Xely ah yes that Coconut Fufu ratio! It should work and more oatmeal flour can be added if it does not. I tried so much to use as little plain flour as possible but really coconut flour does not have a single gluten so I had to keep adding till I got it to hold at this ratio.

[@xplorercolorado9224]

I wonder if plantain flour would do

[@queen2be1000]

Looks really good... Could you do a vid showing how to clean and cook the cow skin please? I saw it in one of my local African shops and it looked like it had some dark stuff in the middle.. Please Help

[@FloChinyere]

Queen2be1000 you can scrape them off with a knife.

[@queen2be1000]

All Nigerian Recipes Thank you.

[@annepete7900]

Nice!

[@anyamelecynthiachidimma9786]

thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe , but am having problem when I try to close with my cutter ,if it gets to the oven it get open.pls what should I do?

[@FloChinyere]

If you have the same cutter I used in the video, that's exactly why I do not use it to close the pies. A fork does a better job of closing the pies. Also make sure you are not over filling the pies.

[@fatid8323]

I will try this for this Ramadan

[@FloChinyere]

Great!

[@ekhihappy5053]

Nice

[@annabkitchenbake]

Why does some meat pie colour so yellowish

[@thuggie1]

your pies are amazing

[@mummyblessed1734]

nice one

[@ebere9078]

Is it necessary to use oil when cooking the minced beef, considering it has its own fatty oil from the fats in it?

[@FloChinyere]

But the oil in the meat does not have coconut flavour.

[@ebere9078]

All Nigerian Recipes Yes Aunty you're right. I guess I assumed that the coconut flavour will come from the coconut flour used for the meat pie.

[@FloChinyere]

The coconut flavour in the crust is quite weak because the ratio of coconut flour in the dough is low. The coconut milk used to mix the thickener is stronger but the ingredient that packs the highest concentration of coconut flavour is the coconut oil. Any ingredient that will help the coconut meatpie bust with coconut flavour is welcome. ;) You can skip the coconut oil if you wish.

[@rosyenu235]

Y add all purpose flour

[@periuktembaga6436]

i thought you prepared grated coconut flesh (sweet filling) foldover...

[@susanadam6511]

Now I know why the dough is breaking it’s because I am also using a gluten free plain flour! I still have the dough in my fridge to try and finish it off tomorrow if possible. What can I do to this dough to stop it from breaking ?cos we don’t eat gluten,wheat, soya,

[@FloChinyere]

Susan Adam ahhh that's why! Without gluten no binding will happen. In that case you need to add xanthan gum or psyllium husk or both. These 2 are the most popular gluten-free binders that those on ketogenic diet use to bind dough. I think xanthan gum is more potent. I really do not know much about those 2 so please Google them to make sure they are good for you before you use them.

[@susanadam6511]

All Nigerian Recipes you are so kind, helpful and your response is so quick. Thank you for the information I will goggle and see which one of the two I will go for. Thank you once again and please keep up the good work with your delicious, appetising meals and snacks. God bless.

[@susanadam6511]

All Nigerian Recipes It’s me again I need to ask you. I have now ordered a binding agent called arrow root which is gluten free too but binds which is great. Will I need to still use the plain flour together with the coconut flour to make the meat pie? Or I can only use the coconut flour, arrow root ( of course with the other ingredients in your video)

[@FloChinyere]

I do not know much about the binding strength of arrow root but based on how dry coconut flour is, I would say add the gluten-free flour too just to minimize the changes to the original recipe. I just Googled gluten-free flour just to know if it has any sort of binding power at all and I found this article about baking with gluten-free flour and how to substitute all purpose flour in a baking recipe, you may find it helpful: www.myrecipes.com/healthy-diet/baking-with-gluten-free-flour With Nigerian Meat Pie, you need the dough to bind very well so you can fold it. With that in mind, when reading the article, follow the tips on baking bread because that's the closest one to meat pie in terms of the texture of the dough you should aim for.
