Preparation
- Step 1
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, 1½ teaspoons thyme, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1½ teaspoons parsley and 1 teaspoon lemon rind in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and yogurt and mix until it resembles coarse meal. Add milk and stir until loose and sticky. Cover and refrigerate.
- Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep, cast-iron skillet. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the broth, remaining herbs and lemon rind. Add the chicken, carrots, morels and parsnips. Simmer for 30 minutes, skimming the broth from time to time.
- Step 3
Stir ÂĽ cup of the hot broth into the cornstarch mixture. Stir this back into the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Step 4
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the refrigerated dough to fit the diameter of the skillet. Cover the top of the skillet with the dough. Pinch the sides. Poke the top a few times with a fork. Bake until dough is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

The recipe is missing a few critical details. This was disappointingly bland. Needed 2 tsp salt in the pie filling at a minimum. "Large, deep, case-iron skillet" means a 12" skillet. Anything smaller and there won't be enough space. Cover the skillet while simmering for 30 minutes. Otherwise, the proportions are good for making a pot pie that looks good, with good consistency, and good crust. I'd also add an egg wash over the top.
Instead of corn starch, I just made a roux and the consistency was better when you added back into the pot. Otherwise there was not enough liquid. Agree that there needs to be more salt/pepper at every transition.
I still have a much stained printed recipe from Nov. 29, 1992 which includes recipes for wild mushroom lasagna and deep-dish lamb pie among others. For this I use 1.5 lb. boneless/skinless thighs, and baby bella for the mushrooms. Using a cuisinart for the dough, the whole thing takes about 2 hours start to table.. Added 1 c. peas before baking. Baked 20 min.
