Instructions

1 Make the Pastry

Sieve the Flour into a large mixing bowl and cube the Butter. Add the cubed cold
butter to the flour and using your fingertips rub the Butter into the Flour
until you get a fine breadcrumb texture. Then add a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of
Cold Water and mix together if needed you can add another tbsp. of water. Gently
knead the pastry together for 2 mins and wrap chill in the fridge for 30
minutes.
2 Line the Pie Dish

On a lightly floured surface roll out the pastry to a circle that will cover the
pie dish and have extra over-hang. Do not trim edges. Using a fork dock the base
and make little holes for the steam to escape. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
3 Chicken & Mushrooms

Preheat the oven to 200ªC. Dice the chicken into bite sized pieces and slice the
mushrooms. Heat a frying pan and add the Garlic Oil. Once hot tip in the diced
Chicken and cook until you can see no pink. Add the mushrooms and fry until the
chicken is golden and the mushrooms have released excess moisture. Tip into a
large bowl.
4 Let’s Get Sauce-y

In the frying pan melt the 50g of Butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 3
minutes stirring constantly. Now slowly add the milk whisking always until
smooth. Reduce the heat and simmer still stirring for around 6 minutes until the
sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper and the chopped Tarragon
Leaves, then pour over the chicken and mushrooms and combine and set aside.
5 Blind Baking

Take the pastry from the fridge and line with parchment or foil and weigh down
with baking beans, rice or other. And bake for 20 minutes. Once the time is up
remove the lining and return to the oven for 6 minutes to colour.
6 Final step

Take the blind baked pastry and pour in the filling. Bake in the oven for 25
minutes. Remove from the oven and enjoy.
