Directions

  1. Prepare chicken: Thoroughly wash 2 plump fryers. Cover with water in large pot (you will want lots of liquid). Add in salt, pepper, and 3 whole ribs of celery, including tops if available. Simmer till chicken is tender. Cold. Remove chicken and celery from stock. Debone chicken and set aside in separate bowl. Throw away skin, bones, and celery. Return stock to stove. Enhance flavor with 1 to 2 Tbsp. chicken bouillon and 1/2 stick butter. Remove from heat.
  2. Prepare pastry and dumplings: Combine 3 c. self-rising flour and 7 Tbsp. Crisco till grainy texture. Add in approximately 3/4 c. sweet lowfat milk. Blend well by hand. Divide dough into thirds. Choose your deepest baking dish or possibly pan. Roll 1/3 of pastry very thin and cut a top crust which will fully cover baking dish and set this top crust aside.
  3. Roll another 1/3 pastry very thin and cut into wide strips and line the upper sides of baking dish. Roll remainder of dough very thin and cut strips approximately 1 x 3 inches. Bring stock back to simmer. Place several strips of pastry on top of simmering broth. While these strips are cooking in batches (for about 5 min), begin layering your pie with alternate layers of chicken and cooked dumplings. End with layer of chicken. Make the stock into a very light gravy by stirring 3 Tbsp. flour into 1 c. of lowfat milk and gradually adding to simmering stock.
  4. Cover the layered chicken and dumplings with the gravy. (Reserve remaining gravy to serve with completed pie.) Add in top crust and crimp edges together with side strips of pastry. Cut gashes in top for steam to escape. Bake in 350 degree oven approximately 45 min or possibly till top is nicely browned.
