Corn Bread Topping for Pot Pie
Hello, I live in the U.K. and I cannot get the canned corn breadstick dough for the Festive Taco Potpie. Can you provide a recipe for this? Thanks,
—Rhiannon
Cheers, Rhiannon!
Indeed, I think I can! If you can’t find the refrigerated dough for my Festive Taco Potpie, head on over to the Corn Bread-Topped Pot Pie and use the corn bread topping instructions in step 2 (I’ve also written it out below). Note that this corn bread is more of a batter than a dough, so instead of twisting the strips of dough and placing them on the pie, you should spoon the dough on the top, in a spoke pattern (with less spokes than shown in the picture). Of course, if you like extra topping, you can cover the entire pie with the corn dough batter; but you’ll probably need to bake the pie longer to get the topping golden.
Here’s how to make a corn bread batter and top the pie: Combine 1 cup self-rising cornmeal, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 (15-ounce) can Mexican-style corn (drained) and 1 cup shredded Cheddar in a medium bowl; mix well. Spoon the batter on the top of the pie in a spoke pattern. Bake the pie until the topping is golden, about 15 minutes.

Hi! Do you have any tips on how to properly bake pies? The problem I’m having is that though the top crust is nice and golden, the bottom crust stays soft. How can I make both the top and bottom pie crust perfect?
