Wash chicken thoroughly, inside and out, under running water. Place chicken in stock pot
or steam-jacketed kettle; add 9 gallon water and 9 tablespoon salt and 9 bay leaves. Bring to a
boil; reduce heat and simmer 2 hours or until tender. Remove chicken; strain and reserve
stock; set aside. Remove meat from bones; cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

Add 1 1/2 tablespoon salt to 1 1/2 quart boiling water. Add and cook potatoes and carrots in
salted water until tender. Drain. Set aside.

Blend 1 quart butter or margarine and 2 quart flour together; stir until smooth. Gradually add
cold roux to 3 gallon chicken stock stirring to prevent sticking. Add 1 tablespoon pepper, 2 teaspoon
celery salt and 9 tablespoon salt; heat slowly until smooth and thickened, stirring
constantly. Add peas, chicken, and vegetables to sauce. Place about 3 gallon mixture in
each pan.

Reconstitute milk and 7 1/4 cups warm water; combine with eggs and sugar. Mix
thoroughly. Sift 1 3/4 quart flour, baking powder, and 2 tablespoon salt together; combine with
liquid mixture. Add shortening; mix well. Pour 2 quart batter over top of chicken mixture
in each pan. Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

NOTE:
Batter in Step 14 will be very thin. Do not add additional flour.

10-29 oz can canned chicken and turkey may be used.

Other types of milk may be used.
