Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)

2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves, (or 1 teaspoon dried)

2 tablespoon baking powder

1 ½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

8 tablespoon cold (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

2 cup buttermilk, plus more if needed (or 1.75c plain yogurt mixed with 4T milk)

1 egg

1 T cream or milk

Preparation

Combine flour, thyme, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a fork, pastry blender, or your fingers, incorporate butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Mix in buttermilk until a sticky dough forms; you may need to add up to 1 tablespoon more buttermilk. Drop 16 mounds (each a scant 1/3 cup) onto pot pie filling.

Beat egg with cream, and brush biscuit topping with egg wash.

Bake 30 minutes or until pot pie is bubbly and biscuit topping is GBD.
