[@chriswelcome4318]

Like my mum's Niuean pineapple pie, meringue topping, could be the old way of doing, not to waste the egg whites. Must be a poly favourite. THANKYOU for the vlog, very helpful.👏

[@mariefonua7653]

[@tmd6625]

Veni you're AMAZING!! This looks absolutely delectable!! Yummy!! Who cares what the ingredients are...it's made from all natural ingredients, way less chemicals than most processed foods n it's not meant for daily consumption!! More power to you Veni!! Do you have a pineapple pie video that looks like the bottom of a pie shell folded on itself? I helped a friend n her Gramma make some when I was a teenager...a long time ago. How bout a peaches n cream pie video? Do u ever have guests in your kitchen like a friend or family that can share the limelight n you could help them? Do you have a website with all of your recipes? I'm too busy watching your video. You've got such a gentle voice. Very calm n nurturing! All the best Veni!! Keeping it 💯 with da Poly's!!👍🏽 You got my support! Keep up the GR8 vids! Mahaloz, T🌺

[@maretaopo3672]

Kia orana bro thanks for sharing

[@venizales]

No worries

[@royalbuff123]

Can I use short crust pastry from supermarket to save time?

[@venizales]

Hi royalbuff123. You can try I haven't baked it that way before. As long as you bake the pastry base first. Also be sure not to use puff pastry. All the best 💯

[@asomaliundmarieioane1352]

One of my favorite pie 😍 keep up the good work YUM YUMMY

[@thatsamoan8476]

All goods Usomex! awesome to meet you

[@marialeutogi3975]

How many cups of sugar do you mix with the butter for the crust please?

[@venizales]

Hi Maria, add 2 cups. it may come out really soft so if you don't like your crust too soft you can add more flour.

[@LinaMSese]

Thank you so much for sharing this ☺️

[@tamamerrick1167]

this is the only samoan channel (that I've found ) that has this level of quality content

[@venizales]

thanks Tama!

[@growingwiththettribe6482]

I normally don’t eat pies but this looks so good. On my list to try it soon.

[@setupaila2205]

Hi Veni. How long do I keep pie in oven? And at what Fahrenheit? Please and thank you:)

[@venizales]

Hi Setu! so I normally keep the pie base in the oven at about 160 degrees celsius? im not too sure what the farenheit is and for about 50mins or until it has browned / baked right through

[@faataatiatupuolajr8799]

Awesome Sauce 😎

[@melm6727]

Thank you for sharing, I'm going to try it tonight! 😋👍

[@venizales]

[@venizales]

Hi Missy! Thanks for the support! Yes trying to keep it simple because even I sometimes find it hard to follow recipes too! Lol all good enjoy! 💯💯

[@jimlittle6020]

What is the best self raising flour to use that doesn't taste too strong.

[@venizales]

here in australia i use the aldi / coles brands

[@jimlittle6020]

how long do u leave the pastry to set then add the meringue? or u just add right away

[@venizales]

Hi Jim, i bake the pastry first- once baked, cool and add the custard. Then add the meringue and bake until brown. You can most definitely leave the base to cool and then add custard and brown the meringue - whichever is easier for you

[@jimlittle6020]

@@venizales thanks heaps.

[@ginx5692]

I’ve only had this once from my friends promotion party. Her Aunty made it and I was hooked. I can’t wait to make it. Thank you. You make everything so easy to make on your videos. 🥰

[@venizales]

You're welcome 😊

[@jewlzroady5899]

Thank you for this awesome recipe! Crust taste very good, tastes like shortbread cookie😍only thing I wasn't sure on was the sugar when mixing with the butter. I put 1 cup instead of 2, only seen it in 1 of your reply comments that it is 2 cups. But it turned out great still and I saved my family from being diabetic for a few weeks🤣🤣🤣🤣Thank you❤

[@samoaninsaudi9521]

YAY! Thank you this looks so good, I'm Samoan living in Saudi Arabia so I need to learn how to make this and I am craving this so bad!

[@venizales]

Wow Saudi Arabia!? That's awesome! Hope this recipe will help you! Lots of alofas from Brisbane, Australia 👌🎅🌺

[@vath102]

can i make the custard filling without the water and just use milk?

[@venizales]

You can try but powdered custard is best

[@samwatches03]

How much sugar is for the base and how much is for the Meringue?

Thanks Tairi! I'm glad you all enjoyed the pai! Thanks for the support and will keep uploading more cooking vlogs soon ❤

[@apiijessie9235]

Hi how many eggs you add in for the base 6?

[@venizales]

Hi Apii, so in this recipe i did 6 eggs separated. But you can start with 3 if you don't want your base too moist. It is just to bind the ingredients together. Let me know how you go. I will be doing another pie recipe soon with a different base recipe too so stay tuned

[@niggamoney5403]

Can you make a half moon pie video pls?

[@tmd6625]

Veni have you ever watched, In the Kitchen with Gina Young? She makes a "Hawaiian dream cake". I'm Hawaiian no disrespect but it's only called that cuz of the crushed pineapples🍍. Lol. Shes amazing n has an adorable voice n recipes in her description. Maybe make that cake w/a Sāmoan flare but using natural stuff like from scratch as you usually do (maybe all except cool whip topping but even that is sugar,gelatin n egg whites + alot of chemicals to stablize it but your way is best). You really should be in culinary school!! Alot of food is made fr scratch not totally processed, over-processrd, ultra-processed like in the stores these days. So fake! You're the real deal!! I wish you luck!! Chef Veni.

[@chaneltongatama8102]

Did you actually use 500g butter or half of that?

[@venizales]

Hi Chanel I did indeed use 500g. It makes it soft but you can use half if you prefer that too 💯🏡

[@petersaseve2947]

My excact question, when I looked at my 500grm butter I'm at a loss, such a huge block. N it jst didn't turn out 4me

[@sonjafaafili5215]

Hello, can I use regular sugar instead of raw sugar?

[@venizales]

Yes you can!

[@sonjafaafili5215]

Also, you mentioned that you have to let it rise, after you fork the base of the pie, does that mean as in double the size,like how we double the dough to let it rise? Or is it for like 10-15mins?
