Miss Mary's Famous Chicken with Pastry




Source of Recipe


Miss Mary BoBo's Boarding House


List of Ingredients




Chicken:

1 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) chicken
1 large onion
1 rib celery
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
Salt and pepper, to taste

Pastry:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening or lard
1/4 cup cold water

Recipe



Place chicken, onion, celery and salt in a large pot. Add enough water to completely cover the chicken. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove chicken from broth and cool enough to handle. Pick chicken off the bones and discard bones. Place chicken in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Remove celery and onion from broth. Measure broth and return 3 cups to the pot. In a small bowl, blend 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water to make a smooth paste. Stir into hot broth. Cook 5 to 10 minutes or until broth is thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with cold water and mix until dough holds together and will form a ball. Roll out on a floured board or pastry cloth to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into strips and place over the chicken. Bake at 375 degrees F until the pastry is golden brown. Makes 6 servings.
