2 (4 pound) chicken
2 quarts water
1 1/2 cupfuls peas
1 1/2 cupfuls potato balls
6 cooked onions
1/2 cupful milk
2 cupfuls flour
4 teaspoonfuls baking powder
1 teaspoonful salt
2 tablespoonfuls shortening

Cut up chicken as for fricassee, cover with water, add 2 teaspoonfuls salt and simmer until meat is tender. Drain chicken, and thicken a quart of the stock with 4 tablespoonfuls of flour blended with 1/4 cupful cold water. Remove chicken from bones, add to gravy with the onions, peas and potato balls, bring to boiling point, pour into a Pyrex dish and cover with biscuit crust rolled to one-half inch thickness or cut into biscuits.

To make crust, sift flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in shortening, moisten with milk, turn on floured board, pat to one-half inch thickness and use as desired.
