Tuna Pot Pie

1/2 t salt
1/4 t Old Bay Seasoning
1/8 t pepper
2 c water and 1/2 can cream of celery soup OR 2 c vegetable broth made w/ celery
1 c milk
2 cans tuna - drained
Optional: 4 green onions, chopped and cooked tender in a bit of water
Optional: 1 c cooked and diced potatoes (or use canned or dice and cook them with the onions)
Melt butter in saucepan. Blend in flour, salt, seasonings. Gradually add stock and milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and smooth. Add vegetables, tuna and cooked onions and potatoes.

Biscuit Topping;
Mix
1 1/3 c flour (I used hand-milled, whole grain so my photos may look darker than your biscuits)
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
Cut in
2 T butter
3 T shortening
Add 1/2 c milk (scant) and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. If it's too wet and sticky add one or two more tablespoons of flour. Pat down on a lightly floured surface and roll out to the shape of your baking dish. If you prefer you can cut into wedges or squares and simply top the vegetable mixture that way too. (Up to you!).
