It seems every dutch cook has his or her own way of making Chicken Pot Pie. Make it a few times, making adjustments of your own to your taste. Mine comes out thin, like soup. This could be thicker.

Pot Pie Dough:
3 c. flour
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. shortening
1/2 - 3/4 c. water

Chicken Broth:
3 lb. whole chicken
2 quarts of water
4-6 medium potatoes
2 c. diced celery
1 c. diced carrots
1 small diced onion
parsley to taste
salt & pepper to taste

To prepare pot pie dough: combine flour, eggs, and shortening. Knead it with your hands adding water small amounts at a time until the dough holds together. Roll out into a thin sheet on a floured board. Cut into 2 inch squares, and let dry about an hour. Meanwhile, cook chicken in 2 quarts of water until tender. Cool and
debone and set aside.Add all remaining chicken mixture ingredients to boiling broth and cook about 10 minutes. Drop pot pie squares into boiling broth a few at a time, turn heat down to medium, stir frequently. Add chicken to broth, heat through.
