Slippery Ham Pot Pie Food

HAM POT PIE

Steps:

• Start with the ham bone. Put it in a large stock pot.
• Cover it 1/2-3/4 up the bone with water.
• 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.
• Trim off all the 'skin' and cube it up into bite size pieces.
• No measurements here.
• The more ham you have the more ham you will have in your pot pie.
• Remove the ham bone and pick it if you wish.
• Peel and cut up 2 potatoes.
• Take 1 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of water and stir it around with a fork
• 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.
• Roll out the dough to about 1/8 - 1/4" thickness. Be sure to put extra flour on your work surface to avoid sticking.
• Use a pizza cutter to cut into squares.
• Add the cut up potatoes and ham to the simmering stock. Drop the pot pie squares into the simmering stock.
• The dough will puff up as it cooks and it doubles in thickness.
• Take 1/2 cup of flour and a heavy splash of water or milk to it and shake it to combine.
• Pour it in the pot pie.
• After it comes to a boil it should thicken up slightly.
• Season with salt if desired and Voila! You have made slippery pot pie.
