  • Stream in the water one tablespoon at a time and pulse after each addition.

  • Sprinkle both sides of the disk with flour and wrap it in plastic wrap.
  • Place in the refrigerator for at least one hour but can be kept for as long as two days before rolling it out.

  • When ready to use the dough, roll out the dough onto a lightly floured working surface until it is approximately 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
  • Lay a ramekin onto the surface of the dough and cut out six circles that are a little larger than the circumference of the ramekin.
  • Place the dough on top of each filled ramekin.
  • Fold the dough over the edge of the ramekin and using the tynes of a fork, press down into the dough all the way around to help seal the dough.
  • Whisk together one egg and 1 tablespoon of water and brush the egg wash onto the crust of each pot pie.
  • Cut a vent hole into each crust.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place the ramekins onto a baking sheet and then place the baking sheet into the oven.

"Great chicken pot pie. We all loved it. I took the easy way out though and bought a rotisserie chicken and refrigerated pie crust for the top."
