  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp flour
Savory Pie Filling Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Incorporate Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Add Ice Water: Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  4. Step 4: Chill the Dough: Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps to firm up the butter and makes rolling easier.
