Should I cover my pot pie with foil?

What kind of biscuit do you use for pot pie?
My mom made this often – it’s a buttery biscuity topping. It doesn’t rise as high as regular biscuits, and you can just pour it over the pot pie. It comes out all golden brown and tasty. The pot pie part I make with leftover chicken, some frozen mixed veggies, and either leftover gravy or cream of chicken soup.
