Hey /ck/

Made pot pies for the first time, turned out pretty good I think. Not too experienced with baked foods but I think it came out nice.

The biscuits were made with leftover dough from the pie crust, I know the shape is pretty poor, but they were quite tasty with some butter and honey on top.

looks comfy
what veggies are in it

[Anonymous No.15209819]

>>15209804
Carrots, celery, green beans and corn.

Also, I'm eating vegetarian at the moment, so there's tofu instead of the usual chicken.

>>15209819
tofu in a pie, id have to try that before judging. but i would probs go with mushroom if i want a meat substitute

[Anonymous No.15209837]

>>15209766
Nice ceramic.
>>15209775
Sounds kind of bland, what else in your filling? And hoping you didn't do frozen veggies

[Anonymous No.15209841]

>>15209835
Same. I'd have made a thick roux and put onions and garlic and mushrooms in it with cheese.

[Anonymous No.15209844]

>>15209835
Probably would have been good to add some mushrooms for the flavor, I'll try that if I make this recipe again (though probably next time I'll be off the veggie diet so I can just use meat anyway). But I wanted tofu for the protein.

>>15209837
Aside from the veggies I mentioned in the other post, just a few different spices. And no, all fresh.

Some good shit anon, that's definitely the direction I'll go next time. This is my first time making this sort of dish, so I'm still learning. (And I did have sauteed onions as well, I forget to mention before.)

Is there only a crust on top? I saw Babish make a pot pie that way for the first time and I thought he was a moron. How can you call it a pie if it's only a top crust?

[Anonymous No.15210132]

>>15209940
The top crust is really plenty enough crust to go around as long as you make it think enough, which I did. I mean yes, I could have put dough around the entire piece of flatware, but that really wouldn't have added anything to the dish.

its pot pie, an easy home recipe
basically just casserole/stew with a crispy flaky bread

[Anonymous No.15210190]

>>15209766
Looks dank bro thanks for sharing

[Anonymous No.15210192]

>>15209940
thats what pot pie is
if you put pastry all the way around it stops being a pot pie and becomes just a pie
a regular pie
delicious, but not as easy to make

personally i think the world needs more suet dumpling topped stews rather than pot pies, but pot pies are fine too
septics probably cant even buy suet or some shit lmao

>suet dumpling
What is this, anon? First I've heard of it.

[Anonymous No.15210512]

Savory pot pie vs sweet pot pie??

[Anonymous No.15211551]

>>15209837
I dont see why everyone has to get testicular tortion over frozen veg. I mainly use fresh, but sometimes it snows a lot, and I'm not gonna go to the market and in the end doesn't taste different.

[Anonymous No.15212500]

>>15211551
Depends what you're cooking, honestly for a pot pie I doubt you could really tell the difference.

[Anonymous No.15212675]

Frozen is better than "fresh" if the vegetable is out of season in your area. Imagine sweet corn, green peas, grean beans, etc. if they've been shipped from some tropical area, stored in warehouses and placed on the shelf 1-2 months after picking. Literally tasteless, sawdust texture with 0 vitamins. Frozen are infinitely better.

[Anonymous No.15212816]

>>15212675
That got me thinking, anon, how is it exactly that most produce nowadays is available fresh year-round? Of course for some things it's still seasonal, but most you can find any time of the year in the supermarket. How do they do that?

[Anonymous No.15212860]

>>15212816
my tomatoes off season say they were grown in hot houses in Mexico. I assume its probably the same with most other things.

What's your recipe for the crust?

[Anonymous No.15213955]

>>15213926
It's pretty basic, really. I'm not much when it comes to baked goods, but it came out nice and tasty.

For the two ramekins I had

0.5 cup milk
1 cup flour
0.5 Tbsp baking powder
0.25 tsp baking soda
0.38 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp butter

Just mix all the non-liquid ingredients together in a bowl, then work the butter in withyour hands until it's evenly distributed throughout the mix. Then slowly start pouring in the milk until you have a nice dough going. Plop that down onto a floured surface, flip it over on itself a few times, form a nice solid piece and then start cutting it into discs based on the size on container you have. You could also just make enough to cover a whole baking tray and do it that way. Then just set it aside until your filling is ready, and bake at 425F for 15-17 min.
