Ingredients

• 500 g Cod fillets (boneless, skinless)
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 40 g All-purpose flour
• 500 ml Fish or chicken stock
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 60 g Celery (finely diced)
• 60 g Carrots (finely diced)
• 80 g Green peas (frozen or fresh)
• 15 g Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 250 g All-purpose flour (for biscuit crust)
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt (for biscuit crust)
• 80 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 120 ml Milk
• 10 g Fresh dill (minced, for biscuit crust)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Cut the cod fillets into bite-sized chunks and set aside.

Step 3

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced celery and carrots and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a light roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the fish or chicken stock, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, peas, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Add the cod pieces to the mixture and gently fold to coat. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit crust. Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Stir in the minced dill and milk, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 9

Divide the cod filling evenly among four ramekins or ovenproof bowls.

Step 10

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough and cut rounds large enough to cover each ramekin. Place the dough rounds on top of the filling, pressing the edges gently to seal.

Step 11

Make a small slit in the center of each crust to allow steam to escape, and bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cod Pot Pie Pies with Dill Biscuit Crusts!
