Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for sweet pie) or omit for savory
1/4 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sweet version)
1 1/2 to 2 cups filling of choice: fruit (berries, peaches, apples) for sweet OR sautéed vegetables, cheese, and/or cooked meat for savory
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar if making the sweet version.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla if making the sweet version.
