Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
- Mix the celery, onion, and carrots in the oil. Put in and spread out on a cookie sheet and place it in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Give it a stir every few minutes, when slightly brown take it out and cool.
- Take the oven temperature down to 350. While you are waiting, get out a large saucepan.
- Melt the butter and then add the flour, whisking until smooth. Then whisk in the chicken broth. (You may not need it all) sprinkle in the thyme.
- Bring it to a boil, and stir without ceasing; lower the heat and simmer, about 10 minutes.
- Add all the browned vegetables, ham, tarragon, salt and pepper, cook until it is all heated through. Pour the filling into the prepared baking dish.
- For the biscuits, put the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking powder in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse. The butter should look like peas.
- Put it in a medium sized bowl and add buttermilk. Use your hands or a wooden spoon, to stir it until the flour is incorporated.
- Flour a surface, and put the dough on it. Knead the dough a few times. (10 should be enough.) Roll out the dough into as much of a rectangle you can manage. Cut into whatever shapes you want. You may have to repeat this process a few times to get enough biscuits. Lay the biscuits out over the filling, overlapping a little bit. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes before being served.

Steps:
- BUTTERMILK BISCUIT: Prepare the butter by quartering it lengthwise and then cutting crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces. Place butter in a bowl and put it in the freezer while you prepare the dry ingredients. Measure out the dry ingredients and pulse in a food processor fitted with a metal blade until well combined. Add butter and pulse just slightly until mixture resembles very coarse cornmeal with a few larger lumps.
- Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and add the buttermilk. Stir until the dough gathers into moist clumps, adding up to 2 tablespoons extra buttermilk (adding 1 tablespoon at a time) if the dough is still dry. Transfer onto a floured work surface and form into a rough ball. Roll out the dough until it is 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2 inch pastry cutter, stamp out 8 rounds of dough.
- At this point, refrigerate the dough rounds on a cookie sheet covered with plastic wrap while preparing the pot pie filling recipe. When the pot pie filling is ready, arrange the dough rounds over the warm filling and proceed with the recipe for the pot pie.
- POT PIE: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a small stock pot. Add the chicken, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until chicken is just done. Transfer chicken to a bowl and reserve the leftover broth.
- Using the same pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion, celery and carrot until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper. Shred the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside in a bowl with the sauteed vegetables.
- Again using the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved chicken broth, milk and the thyme. Bring to a simmer to thicken sauce, about 1 minute.
- Stir the chicken and vegetables into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in peas and parsley and pour into a baking dish. Immediately top with biscuits. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use homemade buttermilk. You can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- If you don't have time to make your own buttermilk, you can use store-bought buttermilk. Just be sure to shake the carton well before using.
- Use cold butter for the biscuits. This will help them to be flaky and light.
- Be sure to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If the butter is too warm, it will melt and make the biscuits tough.
- Don't overmix the biscuit dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
- For the ham pot pie, use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are tender. This will help them to blend well with the other ingredients.
- Use a thickener, such as flour or cornstarch, to help thicken the pot pie filling. This will prevent it from being too runny.
- Simmer the pot pie filling for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the pot pie hot with a side of biscuits.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk biscuit ham pot pie is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of flaky biscuits, tender ham, and flavorful vegetables is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning, this dish can be easily made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
