Chicken And Oyster Pot Pie

Ingredients

• 1 stewing chicken
• 1 pint oysters
• ¼ lb butter
• Salt and pepper
• A little flour
• Pastry crust

Method

1. 1 Stew the chicken until tender. Drain, reserving the liquid.
2. 2 Season the chicken with ¼ lb butter, salt, and pepper. Line a deep dish with pastry crust.
3. 3 Place the chicken in the crust-lined dish. Cover loosely with a top crust, cutting a hole the size of a teacup in the center.
4. 4 In a separate pan, heat the oyster liquor with a little flour and water. Add oysters, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons butter. Boil briefly.
5. 5 Bake the pie. Twenty minutes before done, lift the top crust and pour the hot oyster mixture into the center.
