Chicken Potpie

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425 f. take the dough paste and cut it into long, broad strips, and line the pot with it, placing them like the staves of a barrel.
2. Cut a large, fine chicken into small pieces, salt and pepper it, and put it into the pot with a quarter of an onion minced fine two potatoes sliced thinly, and some large, flat dumplings of rich paste.
3. Rub some flour and butter together, stir in some hot water, and make the mixture smooth.
4. Pour this over the chicken, and if it is not enough to cover it add a little warm milk and water.
5. Turn the tops of the crust lining the pot over the chicken, and make a lid of crust to go over the whole (a hole in the middle of this must be left for the gravy to bubble throush)
