    Recipe Introduction


    I don't know if this is the type of pot pie you are looking for. It's my mother-in-law's recipe. This is a Lancaster County, Pa./Dutch favorite.

    List of Ingredients




    Broth:
    1 whole chicken and 4 breast
    bay leaf
    carrots
    celery
    salt and pepper to taste

    Noodles:
    3 cup. Flour
    1 tsp. Baking powder
    salt
    2 Tbsp. Crisco vegetable shortening (or use the fat left after boiling the whole chicken)
    COLD WATER
    2 eggs

    Recipe



    Broth:
    Simmer whole chicken and breast with water, bay leaf, carrots, celery, and salt - pepper. Remove chicken when completed cooking. Cool chicken and pick meat from the bone; reserve meat. Let broth cool, and strain out vegetables. It is best to make the stock the day before and keep in the refrigerator overnight. When you are ready to make the noodles, remove it from the fridge. Scrap off the layer of fat that should have solidified on the top of the broth. This can be reserved for making the noodles or thrown out.

    Noodles:
    Mix flour, baking powder, salt. Cut in the Crisco until mixture crumbles. Add eggs; Add cold water 1 Tbsp. at a time until dough reaches consistency. Roll and cut out noodles. Drop noodles one at a time into the pot of boiling stock. Let noodles cook until they float, then add chicken and vegetables.
