# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The cheddar biscuit topping creates this incredible savory crunch that transforms regular pot pie into something special
  • Everything comes together in under an hour including the biscuits which is faster than delivery and way better
02 -
  • That biscuit dough must remain cold until it hits the oven or you lose the flaky texture
  • The sauce will seem thick at first but thats perfect because it thins slightly as the biscuits bake on top
03 -
  • Drop the biscuit dough in generous mounds rather than spreading it for the best texture
  • Let that butter brush soak into the hot biscuits for a full minute before serving
