POT PIE FOR IN BEEF STEW

Ingredienti

3 C All Purpose Flour

1/2 tsp Salt

3 tsp Baking Powder

4 Tbsp Lard (as in the recipe, but I assume shortening of any kind will work)

1 1/2 C Milk

Istruzioni

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and lard.

Cut the lard into the flour with hands or pastry cutter/blender, until the flour looks kind of grainy, the lard is in very small pieces and coated with flour. This will be the same as when making pie dough.

Add milk to flour mix and mix well to form a dough.

Roll out on floured board to 1/2" thick and cut in squares (I recall these being about 1" X 1", YMMV)

Drop into boiling stew and cook for 20 minutes.

Do not lift lid while cooking (I can't imagine why, but it's what the recipe says)

Note

This made an outstanding addition to beef stew or any kind of beef soup. The dough absorbs the flavors of the broth and is terrific.
