CHICKEN, HAM AND PEA POTPIES

• Transfer dough to a work surface and shape into four disks, making two slightly bigger than the others. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while making filling.
• Prepare filling: Place a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat and melt butter. Whisk in 5 tablespoons flour and bouillon granules. Remove mixture from heat, and gradually whisk in milk to make smooth paste. Return pan to medium heat, and whisk constantly until simmering. Reduce heat to low; continue to whisk until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to large bowl, cover surface with dampened parchment paper; set aside to cool.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Put peas in a sieve and pour boiling water over them, draining well. Mix peas, chicken and ham into cooled white sauce.
• Assemble and bake pies: Place a baking sheet in a 400-degree oven. Set aside four 1 1/4-cup pie dishes about 1 1/2 inches deep. Halve each of the bigger disks of pastry. Roll each piece to a size big enough to line base and sides of a pie dish with a generous lip of pastry hanging over edge. Spoon equal portions of filling into each shell.
• Halve remaining two pieces of dough, and roll out to make four pie lids. Dampen edges of pastry with water, and place a lid on each pie. Using a knife, trim excess pastry from around sides. Seal edges of pies with tines of a fork, and decorate as desired with leftover dough scraps. Using a pastry brush, paint pies with beaten egg. With point of a knife, cut a tiny cross in center of each pie or make small diagonal slashes.
• Place pies on baking sheet and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. When pies are ready, use oven mitts to turn them upside down, remove them from their dishes and place on serving plates.

• Add the flour to the pan and stir well, cooking for 2 minutes, then slowly adding the milk a splash at a time. Stir well between each addition.

• Add the carrots and mixed vegetables to the sauce and stir, cooking for another 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and leave too cool. The sauce does not need to be cold, so 10 minutes should be long enough. Once cooled, add the parsley and the ham pieces.
• Pre heat the oven to 400 F. Lay the pastry on a lightly-floured work surface and cut two pieces to line the tins and two for the lids, or two circles to fit the pie plate.
• Line the base of your chosen serving dish with one piece of pastry and fill with the ham and vegetable sauce.
• Brush the edges of your dish with the beaten egg and lay the lid over. Press lightly, then crimp the edges with your fingers or the edge of a fork to seal the pie. Cut a small hole the size of a dime into the center of each pie and then brush the surface all over with the remaining beaten egg.
• Bake in the center of the heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and risen, and the sauce is bubbling. It may bubble through the hole, but don't worry, it adds to the character of the pie.
