I have made pot pies several times and I usually follow these guildelines:
- Use the crust recipe from this post
- A 9″ pie pan can hold about 6 cups.
- 2 cups of meat (chicken, etc.)
- 2 cups of gravy (thick chicken gravy, etc.)
- 2 cups of vegetables (I use frozen carrots, peas, etc.)
- The gravy can be a basic beschamel with extra flour
- 1 part fat (butter with a little bit of oil added)
- Sauteed onion in the butter
- Sauteed mushrooms (optional)
- 3 parts GP flour
- 11 parts chicken broth
- 5 parts milk
- Bake at 425 for 30 minutes then let cool for 15 minuts before serving.
