Ingredients are pretty simple for this too we just used what we had in the house, potato, onion, carrots and peas. First things first chop of all the ingredients and then make a roux.
A roux is not more than fat and flour, add some milk and you have gravy. We just used butter, flour, milk, salt and pepper along with some chicken stock.
Be Sure not to burn your roux as its combining and be damn sure not to burn your gravy or it will separate. This means almost constant stirring once the ingredients go in but trust me its worth it. For the sake of time we pre-boiled all the ingredients before adding them to the gravy. Don't forget 1 single bay leaf!!!! and be sure to remove it before making the pot pies.
Let this reduce to your desired consistency. In the mean time make some pie dough for the crust with the chilled butter and flour kneading til its smooth. unfortunately making dough is not exactly the cleanest process ever so I didn't take any pictures. However watch runnyrunny's video you will get the idea.
Once your filling is thickened up its time to fill up your cups and add their crust.
We didn't want to waste any dough haha, and we used an egg wash so it gets nice and shiny when it bakes.
almost done....
Time to eat!
These were actually pretty damn good and I would not hesitate to make them again. I will also be sure to heed my own warning and be sure to keep a close eye on the filling as I think our separated slightly due to a lack of attention... Overall there turned out good and were a good way to eat the rest of the chicken!
