OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Using a pastry
blender, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse
meal (work quickly so the butter does not soften). Sprinkle with ice
water; rapidly blend together with a fork. Gather the dough into a
ball, then flatten into a circle. Wrap in foil; chill at least 3 hours
or overnight. For filling, place chicken, water, bay leaf and garlic
in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook for 30-40
minutes or until chicken is tender. Rem ove and debone chicken; set
aside. Skim fat from the stock. Add beans, carrots, potatoes and
basil; cover and simmer 12-15 minutes or until the vegetables are
tender. Add mushrooms, peas and tomatoes; cover and simmer for 3-5
minutes. Drain vegetables and reserve stock; set aside. Melt butter in
another large kettle. Whisk in flour and cook until bubbly; stir in
1-1/2 cups of reserved stock. Discard remaining stock. In a small
bowl, stir together cream and egg yolks. Whisk into the sauce; remove
from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in reserved
chicken and vegetables. To assemble flowerpots, brush the outside of
pots with vegetable oil. Line each pot with a 15-in. x 12-in. piece of
foil; pressing the foil gently down into the pot and being careful not
to tear it. Fill each pot with about 1-1/2 cups of filling; leaving
about 1/2-in. headroom; set aside. Roll pastry to 1/8-in. thickness;
cut six 6-in. circles. Place one circle on each flowerpot, turndown
the edges and flute the ends. Cut three sma ll steam holes in the
center of each pastry. In a small bowl, lightly beat glaze
ingredients; brush on top of each crust. Place flowerpots on a baking
sheet. Bake at 425! for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is browned
and the filling's hot and bubbly. Place one stick with a seed packet
in each pot before serving. Yield: 6 servings. From the files of Al
