Chicken and mushroom pie

[hammerman]

I'm trying to use up some bits in the freezer. I have all the stuff i need to make a C&M pie....chicken, mushrooms, various condensed soup and some frozen shortcrust pastry.
Can i use shortcrust pastry instead of puff pastry ?.....would i need to blind bake for 10 mins ?

I plan to line the pie dish on the bottom and sides as well as the top with the pastry.

Any guidance and help appreciated.

TIA

Sure you can use shortcrust, but I would blind bake the mixture as you are going to use liquid in it, so you don't want it to be completely soggy and fall to bits, do you?!!!
