History of Pot Pies

Pot pies originate from the English tradition. It was made by molding pastry dough around the bottom of a pan or pot. When this pastry was removed from the pot, a variety of meats, chicken and vegetables were added and topped with a pastry cover. The pastry cover sealed the meat and vegetable mixture inside, and carvings were then made on the top of the crust, which served as vents for the escaping steam.
