- Add in the milk and the cream. Bring slowly to the boil with continual stirring. Once it starts to boil, turn off the heat and put to one side.
- Grease an 8″ (20 cm) pie dish and line with one of the sheets of pastry. Prick the base with a fork and bake in the oven at 180°C for 7 minutes.
- Put the asparagus in the part-baked pie then the chicken. Sprinkle on the herbs and season with salt and pepper. Add the sweetcorn and pour on the sauce.
- Place the remaining pie pastry on the top. Crimp the edges, trim and poke a few holes in the pastry to let the steam out. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.
