Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Cups (cups) all-purpose flour
• 0.75 Cups (cups) unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried parsley
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.5 Cup (cup) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 8 Tablespoons (tbsp) ice water

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, thyme, parsley, and garlic powder. Mix well.
3. Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together. You may not need all the water.
6. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk to fit the bottom and sides of an 11x7-inch baking dish. Gently press the dough into the dish.
8. Roll out the second disk to form the top crust. Place over your filled pot pie, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam to escape.
9. Bake as directed in your favorite pot pie recipe, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Enjoy your gourmet pot pie with a perfectly flaky, herb-infused crust!
