Pot Pie Crust

We thought that you would like a  great free recipe for pot pie crust.  This recipe is from the 1800’s,  and tastes great, if you have never made a pot pie, then you have missed a great healthy meal.  We often make pot pies, with all different kinds of meats, but we always make the crust with this recipe, why not try it.  The ingredients that we use may seem a lot to you, but we have big families,  you can always make small pot pies and freeze them, once they are cooled.

Ingredients

12 potatoes

teaspoon of salt

2 tablespoons of butter (or vegetarian substitute)

half a cup of milk or cream (or vegetarian substitute)

flour to stiffen.

First peel and boil the potatoes, once they have boiled mash them, to the mash add the salt and the milk or cream, once you have mixed this all together add some flour until the mixture becomes stiff enough to roll out like pastry.  Now you have your pot pie crust.

Don’t forget if your are vegetarian you can still use this recipe by using vegetarian substitutes.

This is a good healthy pie crust and a great alternative to pastry.
