Pour stew into a 3 quart casserole or two smaller casseroles.
Prepare the biscuit crust.
Biscuit Crust: Mix dry ingredients.
Work in butter until mixture resembles crumbs.
Beat egg with the milk.
Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients; pour in egg and milk and mix until one lump of dough is obtained.
Roll out on a floured board to 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut to fit the size of the casserole.
Place the dough over the stew in casserole and seal edge tightly to keep flavour in.
Brush the top with milk and bake in a 400f degree oven for approximately 20 minutes or until browned.
If serving this stew to guests, prepare stew ahead of time and have ingredients measured for the biscuit topping.
The dish will then take only a few minutes to assemble.
