Ham Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 cups leftover ham, cubed
1 cup carrot, sliced
2 cups self rising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can sweet peas, drained
salt and pepper
4 -5 eggs, boiled and diced
milk
Crisco shortening

Preparation

In a large pan, boil ham and carrots for approximately 30-45 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
Reduce heat to medium high.
I usually make sure I have at 1/2 pan of water left once carrots are done.
Depending on how\"soupy\" you want the dish to be, you can have more or less.
In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups self rising flour, 1/2 tsp salt and about 3-4 tablespoons Crisco until blended. Add 3/4 cup milk and stir until doughy.
Drop this mixture into water a small spoonful at a time to make dumplings.
Add sweet peas and diced eggs.
Add milk as desired to turn the broth white.
Salt and pepper to taste, Cook an additional 5 minutes until dumplings are done.
