Double crust chicken pot pie – One of my favorites comfort food

Ingredients

Pie crust
2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour  (about 340 grams)1 teaspoon salt7 tablespoons unsalted butter chilled and cubed1/2 cup Ice water (maybe you need a little more water)
Note : this recipe had vegetable shortening but wasn’t necessary . Usually I use only butter.
method

Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter.Using a pastry cutter or yours hands add the butter into the mixture until it resembles  coarse meal.Add slowly ice water . 1 tablespoons at a time and stir well. Stop adding water when the dough begins  to form large clumps. Transfer the pie dough to a floured work surface the dough shouuld come together easily and should not feel over sticky. Using floured hands, fold the dough into itself until the flour is fully incorporated with butter. Form into a ball. Divide  dough  in half . Flatten each half into discs using yours hands.Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours..(Im sure this pie dough recipe is amazing to make others pies too)
