Ham Pot Pie

Step 1

Start with the ham bone. Put it in a large stock pot.

Step 2

Cover it 1/2-3/4 up the bone with water.

Step 3

Let it simmer for as long as you can. I did mine for 5 hours but that is just because I had the time. If you have 1 hour, good for you.

Step 4

Trim off all the 'skin' and cube it up into bite size pieces.

Step 5

No measurements here.

Step 6

The more ham you have the more ham you will have in your pot pie.

Step 7

Remove the ham bone and pick it if you wish.

Step 8

Peel and cut up 2 potatoes.

Step 9

Take 1 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of water and stir it around with a fork

Step 10

You are going to make a rollable dough that is not sticky. If it is sticky add more flour. If it is dry add more water.

Step 11

Roll out the dough to about 1/8 - 1/4" thickness. Be sure to put extra flour on your work surface to avoid sticking.

Step 12

Use a pizza cutter to cut into squares.

Step 13

Add the cut up potatoes and ham to the simmering stock. Drop the pot pie squares into the simmering stock.

Step 14

The dough will puff up as it cooks and it doubles in thickness.

Step 15

Take 1/2 cup of flour and a heavy splash of water or milk to it and shake it to combine.

Step 16

Pour it in the pot pie.

Step 17

After it comes to a boil it should thicken up slightly.

Step 18

Season with salt if desired and Voila! You have made slippery pot pie.
