Instructions: For the Pot Pie Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
Add in chopped onions and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until onions are transparent and garlic is fragrant.
Whisk in flour, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add broth and dairy free milk. Stir frequently until thickened. About 4-5 minutes.
Add in your potatoes and frozen vegetables.
Remove from heat. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
For the pie crust
In a bowl, add flour and salt and stir together with a fork.
Add in tablespoon size cubes of shortening and using the fork, combine until crumbly.
Pour in milk. Stir until combined and then use hands to form a dough ball.
Lay a piece of parchment paper down and sprinkle with flour. Lay dough down and sprinkle with a touch of flour on top.
Roll out into a circle about 10-11 inches.
Spoon the pot pie mixture into ramekins, leaving a little space at the top so they don’t boil over very much.
Using a biscuit cutter that is slightly larger than the ramekin, cut out circles and places on top of ramekins. Fold over the size and press against the ramekin.
Cut three small slits on top of the crust to vent.
Brush with melted dairy free butter.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
