How to make chicken pie with biscuit crust:

Biscuit Crust:1 1/3 c. flour1 1/2 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. baking soda1/2 tsp. salt2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into bits2 Tbsp. shortening, cut into bits1/3 c. Cheddar cheese, grated1 large egg1/3 c. buttermilk Egg Wash:1 large egg yolk1 Tbsp. milk In a saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add carrots, potatoes and celery and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until veggies are tender. Transfer veggies to a bowl, reserving the broth, and add the chicken to the bowl. In another saucepan, cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring until it is softened. Add flour and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add 3 cups of broth in a stream, whisking. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking. Add the thyme and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in nutmeg, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies. Stir the mixture gently, until it is just combined. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish.

Into a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the butter and shortening and blend the mixture until it resembles meal. Add the cheese and toss. Break egg into a measuring cup and add buttermilk to it so that the total volume is 1/2 cup. Beat with a fork. Add to the flour mixture, stirring until the mixture just forms dough. Gather dough into a ball and on a floured surface, pat it out 1/2-inch thick. Cut as many rounds as possible using a 2-inch fluted biscuit cutter dipped in flour.
