Filling:.


Mix water, bouillion cubes, salt, and potato in a sauce pan and boil over medium heat until the potatoes just start to soften.


Add vegetables to the pan and boil an additional 5 minutes or so, then reduce heat to simmer and very gradually stir in corn starch. Gauge starch until mixture has a medium gravy texture or as you would desire for pie filling.


Finally, add meat and simmer without stirring while you make the crust. Either add water or corn starch to adjust texture if necessary.


Crust:.


In a large mixing bowl, blend flour, salt, and garlic/onion (if used). Dice vegetable shortening and butter to small pieces and distribute evenly in flour. Either cut in or with an electric mixer, mix shortening and butter into flour to obtain a flaky granular mixture.


With a large spoon, break ice cubes in your hand and distribute the chips throughout the flour mixture. Blend ice in until fully incorporated and melted into the flour.


Split the mixture into 2 sections sufficient to make a crust and covering. Flour a flat surface and roll sections with a floured rolling pin until good size for pie pan and cover. For a nice touch, slice the cover section into 1'; strips to make a weave or criss-cross patterned top.


Preheat oven to 350掳F.


Lightly grease a pie tin (or dish) and form the pie crust into the tin, leaving loose edges all the way around the tin. Rub the olive oil inside the entire crust as it sits in the tin.


Recheck the consistency of the filling and adjust as necessary. Pour the filling into the pie crust, leaving enough room to add the covering.


Lay a full covering (or weave strips) of crust across the top of the pie. Pinch the edges where the upper and lower crust meet to form a seal all the way around the pie. Once sealed, trim excess crust to edge of pie tin. Knife holes into the crust cover to relieve pressure during cooking.


Brush milk thoroughlly and generously across entire upper crust of pie, then place in oven. Cook for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

1/2 pk Frozen pearl onions (1/2 Lb)

3/4 c Milk


1/2 c All-purpose flour, unsifted


3/4 ts Poultry seasoning


1/2 ts Salt


1/4 ts Pepper


1 lg Egg yolk, beaten with 1 Tbl water








Instructions





STOCK:





STOCK: Place chicken in 6-quart kettle along with the rest of stock ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for about 1 hour, or until chicken is tender. (About 45 minutes with 2 smaller chickens.)


Meanwhile, make pastry. In medium bowl stir flour and salt together. With pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, over all of pastry mixture, tossing lightly with a fork after each addition and pushing dampened portion to side of bowl; sprinkle only dry portion remaining. Pastry should be just moist enough to hold together, not sticky. (4 to 6 tablespoons ice water.) Shape into a ball; flatten and wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use.


Remove chicken from kettle to bowl; cool until easy to handle. Discard skin and bones. Cut chicken meat into 1-inch pieces (4 to 5 cups). Strain stock into large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add carrots, pearl onions, and celery. Cook, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes, until vegetables are just tender. In 2-cup measuring cup, measure milk; whisk in flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir into vegetable-stock mixture; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; boil 1 minute. Add cut-up chicken; mix well. Divide mixture among six 1 1/3-cup casseroles or seperate baking dishes. Preheat oven to 400F.


Remove pastry from refrigerator. On lightly floured surface, cut pastry into 6 equal pieces. Flatten and evenly roll each piece to a circle the same diameter as the top of a casserole. Cut a cross, 1 1/2 inch across, in the center of each. Lightly moisten edges of casseroles with pastry brush and water. Place pastry circles on top of each casserole. Use knife tip to turn back the four corners in center of pastry, exposing filling. Firmly press edge of pastry to casserole with table fork. Place casseroles on large baking tray or rimmed cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until filling is bubbly. Remove from oven. Brush crusts with egg yolk mixture. Return to oven; bake for 5 minutes longer, or until pastry is golden-brown.
Sorry, I couldn't find any with cream cheese in the crust. I tried.
