Prep: 25m Cook: 25m Total: 58m Yield: 8 servings

Biscuit Dough

1

Prepare the biscuit dough by adding flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to a large bowl. Mix well.

2

Dice or grate the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, a fork, or even your hands until the pieces of butter are evenly distributed. The flour mixture will be coarse and sand-like.

3

Add sourdough starter and buttermilk, stirring until just combined. The dough will be lumpy. Cover the dough and keep it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Filling

4

Start the filling by adding butter, garlic, onion, potatoes, and carrots to a large cast iron skillet on medium-low heat. Sauté for 10 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

5

Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables, then stir and cook for a few minutes until the flour is mixed in well.

6

Pour in the bone broth and add parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well, cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes.

7

Stir in peas, pre-cooked chicken, and heavy cream, then transfer the filling to a greased 9x13 baking dish.

Assembly & Baking

8

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

9

Roll biscuit dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut out biscuits (approx. 12). Place on top of the pot pie filling, side to side.

10

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbling.

11

Remove from the oven and cool for several minutes before serving.

Baker's Notes

  • Place butter in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting for flakier biscuits.
  • Work the dough as little as possible to keep biscuits soft.
  • Finely chop veggies to ensure they cook quickly.
