  • How To Cook:
    1. Put the chicken in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil and skim, then add the onion, celery, mixed herbs and salt.

    2. Simmer for 1½ - 2 hours, according to the size and age of the bird.

    3. When done, remove the chicken from the saucepan and strain the stock into a basin; stand this in a cool place till the stock has set in a jelly.

    2. Knead to the right consistency, roll out on a floured board and cover the pie, leaving a small hole in the center.

    3. Bake in a hot oven (450°F).

    4. Remove from the oven and pour the warmed cream through the opening in the pie; cover the opening with a little pastry, cut to a leaf or other fancy shape.
