Just like I make, except I add a milk and flour thickening when it's almost done so the juice isn't so thin.

My family uses milk instead of milk. I just pour enough in to make the dough easy to roll out. I always make this with leftovers from a ham dinner. I also freeze the leftovers for later use.

I grew up eating this in the winter. As a kid I was thrilled when a ham was being made for a special dinner because I knew the pot pie wold surely follow soon after. It snowed today, April 29! In New Mexico! Missing my Appalachian mountains and my grandmas so much. Thanks for the recipe as I'm using the leftover Easter ham & bone I froze for some country comfort. Three cheers for PA soul food! Thanks so much!

You are absolutely right about using the leftover ham and bone for freezing for potpie. I save the bone and any cuttings from the ham ie fat etc in one bag for the stock. Then add the other bag that has leftovers from the second bag. Taught this by my father in law who learned it from his mother and we do this for both the Easter and Christmas ham. My kids come home from college now with girl friends and want me to make. I have taught them as well. If you want to make and now leftovers available...use ham houcks.

This is so close to the recipe I remember my Great Gran (mennonite) made. Just to clarify....you use water to make the stock. And do you use 2 cups of water in your noodles. I remember her adding a tablespoon or two of lard & then later on in time crisco to the dough mixture. This looks exactly like a pot of her pot pie!

I make mine this way but substitute cooled ham broth for the water. Green beans on the side, also adding ham broth to those. I always use a ham hock and Better then Bouillon ham base in the water when making the ham

This was a hit with my family and reminded me of home. When I saw the poster was from mifflinburg which is where I'm from I had to try this, I'm glad I did. This is the closest I've gotten to a pot pie recipe that reminds me of what I grew up with. Will definitely make this again.
