Chicken Pie

For Pastry :

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled
• 1 egg
• 4 to 5 Tbsp milk

Method:

1. For pastry, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut into butter until an even, crumbly texture.
2. Whisk together egg and 3 Tbsp milk. Add to dough and mix until dough comes together, adding additional milk if needed.
3. Shape dough into a disc, wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Roll out two thirds of pastry to less than ¼-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
2. Line an 8-inch springform pan or pie pan carefully, letting pastry hang a little over the sides.
3. Roll out remaining one third of dough large enough to cover top of pan.
4. Fill pan with Chicken filling and brush edges of pastry with egg wash.
5. Place disc of pastry to cover the chicken and seal edge, trim and crimp.
6. Make holes in pastry with a fork or scissors and brush with remaining egg wash.
7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until pastry is a rich golden brown.
8. Let pie rest for 20 minutes before removing from the pan.

For the Pastry I got the original recipe from TV show "Sugar" by Chef Anna Olson from http://www.asianfoodchannel.com/ . Thank you to Chef Anna Olson for sharing her grade recipe.
