Ham or Chicken Pot Pie

This is Pennsylvania Dutch style pot pie, with noodles cooked in the hot broth, rather than pie crust.

CHICKEN OR HAM POT PIE
1 cut up chicken or ham end or 2 lb. chunk
2 qt. water
1 onion, chopped
Bring to boil and cook until tender, remove to a plate. Remove bones from chicken, and whichever meat it is, keep warm while cooking the vegetables:

Salt and pepper
Parsley flakes (dry or fresh)
2 potatoes, cubed (peel or not, to preference)
2 - 3 carrots, peeled and diced
Simmer the vegetables in the broth until tender. Remove some of them so the broth is soupy, not just around the vegetables.

POTPIE NOODLES:
1 rounded tbsp. Crisco or butter
1 egg, beaten
2 c. flour
2/3 c. water
1/2 tsp. salt
Medium bowl, place flour; make well in center, add shortening, mix with fork; add egg beaten, water, salt. Continue to mix until soft dough forms, with well floured hands, knead or mix until smooth dough forms.
On lightly floured surface with rolling pin, roll dough 1/16 inch thick. Cut dough with knife or pastry wheel into 2 inch squares.

With broth boiling, chicken or ham removed, stir pot pie, strip by strip into broth. Simmer 10 minutes. Return the meat to the kettle.

I love down home food. I can't live on lettuce leaves.

Years ago I went to the Shenandoah Valley and had some of that Virginia country ham that tastes totally different from most of the ham we're used to. The grocery stores there sell trimmings from those hams that you buy for seasoning and the lady who was taking me around said she cooked those trimmings to make a broth and made this kind of dumplings.

Holy Cow! More than "rib-sticking"--gut filling, heavy duty, lead-added down home food. I'll pass.

It's Pennsylvania Dutch. They take cornmeal mush and fry it in butter. Busloads of tourists seek this stuff out.

'Rib sticking stuff', as we say over here, just what is needed on winter days

I'm trying to find something good to fix for New Year's Eve, rib-sticking but light. Light but yummy. Yummy but easy to make. Hah!

Unique! Sounds warm and wonderful on this December day!

I'm considering a PA Dutch theme for New Year's Eve - the above pot pie, shoofly pie, etc. They're the ones who came up with the seven sweets and seven sours tradition - homemade pickles and relishes.
