Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure your pot pie filling is ready and placed in a baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and egg until smooth.
Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; it's okay if the dough is slightly sticky.
Scoop small portions of the dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and drop them evenly over the prepared pot pie filling. Leave some gaps for steam to escape.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
