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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure your pot pie filling is ready and placed in a baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and egg until smooth.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
