The final stage of preparation was curious. We speculated about what the finished pie would look like. And we were about right!

EASY CHICKEN PIE

1 large fryer, 3-4 lbs, “boiled with some onion and celery,” skin and bones removed and discarded, meat left in chunks, 1 ½ C stock reserved

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

1 C milk

½ stick butter

3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

1 C self-rising flour

1 can cream of celery soup

Butter

Preheat oven to 350^o. Combine reserved stock, chicken meat, soup, salt, and pepper. Mix together flour and milk.
