Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400° and have ready a greased, 9" (preferably deep dish) pie tin.
- Add butter to a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. As soon as the butter has melted, add the celery, bell pepper, and onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated. Stir in the tomato paste and begin adding the chicken broth one big splash at a time, whisking after each addition. Do this until the mixture begins to resemble a thick pudding. Once this consistency is reached, the remaining broth can be added in.
- Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and the bay leaf and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring often, about 6-8 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in the crawfish and tomatoes and simmer 5 minutes more. Set aside until ready to use.
- Roll out the pie dough so that it is a 1/4" thick. Lay one dough round on across the bottom of the pie dish, and allow the excess to lay over the sides of the dish.
- Pour the filling into the dish. Roll out the second dough round just the same, and place it over the dish. Crimp the edges of the pie crust together.
- To make the egg wash, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water, and using a pastry brush, lightly brush the mixture across the top crust and the edges. Create vent holes in the center of the pie, and transfer to a sturdy, rimmed baking sheet to catch any spillage.
- Bake the pie for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350° and bake for 25-28 minutes more, or until the top is golden-brown. Use a pie shield to prevent the edges from over-browning.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting into. Serve and enjoy

MINI CRAWFISH (OR SHRIMP) PIES
I am "required" to make and bring these to parties and family gatherings. When I can't sleep I get in the kitchen and cook, actually experiment, which is how I came up with these. They aren't hard to make, but the bread cups can be a little time consuming so whenever you're in the mood, make the bread cups ahead of time and...

Steps:
- 1. First you make a roux. NO! NO! NO!, not this time. Just Kidding! Sorry, I got carried away...
- 2. FIRST - In a large skillet melt butter and add onion, celery, and chives/green onions, and season with a little salt and pepper. Saute until onions begin to soften.
- 3. Add garlic, worcestershire sauce, cayenne (start with a pinch, you can always add more later), and paprika; continue to simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- 4. Add soup and Cheez-Whiz, simmer until cheese is melted, stirring frequently to keep cheese from burning.
- 5. Add crawfish and simmer 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cap, or to taste, liquid crab boil, (optional).
- 6. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and add bread crumbs. Mix well and let sit to allow bread crumbs to expand. The mixture needs to be fairly thick so it won't fall down your shirt when you take the first bite of the mini crawfish pie.
- 7. Check the mixture and add more bread crumbs if needed, stir and set aside.
- 8. If you planned ahead and already have your bread cups made, then pop them back into the mini muffin pan and set aside, pour yourself a drink and put your feet up. Otherwise, get started making those bread cups. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/bread-sweet-bread/sourdough-mini-appetizer-cups.html
- 9. Once all of your ingredients are ready, use a small spoon and fill each bread cup, pack it in and heap it up on top. Sprinkle the top with a little paprika or chopped parsley. Bake at 350* F for 10 minutes and serve.
- 10. *NOTE: Before baking, crawfish pies can be frozen then put into a Zip-Lock bag and kept frozen until ready to serve. From frozen bake at 350* F for 25 minutes until hot.
- 11. *TIP: Alternate method for dough cups - Instead of making bread cups, you can use Pillsbury's pre-made pie crusts (2 crusts) in freezer section of the grocery, or you can make your own fabulous homemade pie crust. Use a cookie cutter to cut rounds that will form a cup when put into a mini muffin pan. Bake for 10 minutes then fill with crawfish mixture. Bake for another 10 minutes to heat through. *OPTIONS: If you don't want to make mini crawfish pies - use this filling to make one full size pie with a top and bottom crust. If you can't get crawfish, use shrimp or crab meat in place of crawfish. Add crab meat last so it stays together better.
CRAWFISH PIE
Steps:
- Place the pie crust into a deep-dish pie plate.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion, green pepper, celery, salt, cayenne pepper, and white pepper until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and crawfish tails, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 3 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk flour and water together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth, and pour the flour mixture into the skillet. Bring the filling to a simmer, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to stand for 20 to 30 minutes to finish thickening.
- While filling is cooling, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, and bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using your hands work in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Work the dough until you have a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough in half and roll each ball into a circle about 14 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing the dough, and unfold into a 9-inch pie pan. Reserve the other circles for the top of the pie.
- In a large saute pan, heat the butter. When the butter is melted, add the onions, peppers, celery, shallots, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Saute for 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden and wilted. Add the tomatoes and cook for 6 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and parsley. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 4 minutes. Dissolve the flour in the water and add to the pan. Stir for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat. Cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Pour the cooled filling into the piecrust. Top the filling with the remaining crust and crimp the edges. Place the pie in the center of a cookie sheet and brush with an egg wash. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the edges of the piecrust are golden. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Place a slice of the pie in the center of a plate. Garnish with chives, red peppers, and cheese.
MINI CRAWFISH PIES - PAULA DEEN
Typically not a fan of Paula's, but this recipe is outstanding. Note - I use 3 cups chicken stock and you can use shrimp if you can't find crawfish, but definitely use crawfish if you have it available. This is a special treat for us. I have not made the crust, I just use refrigerated crust and bake in a pie pan. You will need to bake until the crust is brown if using a large pie pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- For the crust: In a large bowl, blend together the butter and cream cheese. Stir in flour and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Separate dough; reserving 1/3 for pie tops, and using 2/3 for pie crust bottoms. To form bottom portions of dough, create dough balls approximately 1-inch in diameter and place into bottom of muffin tin cups, flattening to form crust bottoms. Bake crusts only until golden brown, about 20 minutes. *You can use any pie crust and simply follow remaining filling ingredients and make one large pie.
- For the filling: In a saucepan, add butter and flour, stirring together over heat to create a roux. Cook until mixture is the color of peanut butter. Add all vegetables and saute until soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add crawfish, Cajun seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Saute mixture for 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Spoon mixture into crusts. Top with circles of unbaked dough cut from the reserved 1/3 of original dough. Make a small slit in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve while warm.
