Close up of a slice of delicious Vegan Pot Pie

Pot pie is classic comfort food. Of course, since this pot pie is a vegan recipe, there is no meat in this vegan pot pie. Instead of using meat, we used a combination of potatoes, carrots, green peas, and lentils. We also added mushrooms to give this Vegan Pot Pie a meaty feel.

2 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
