Combine flour and salt in a food processor or by hand. Cut butter into ½ inch pieces, add to flour mixture, and pulse until mixture forms a coarse meal. Add ice water a little at a time, pulsing or kneading until dough begins to hold together. Set aside in the fridge. 

When ready to make pies, make small balls and flatten with a rolling pin. Cut them into equal shapes.

To make pie

Boil chicken with pepper and salt. Saute the onions and add cornfour. Saute and add the vegetables and seasonings along with the cream. Cover and boil along with the cooked chicken until the sauce thickens. Use a  muffin tray or individual cups and line one set of pastry. Fill it with the sauce and cover it with the second set pf pastry. Do an egg wash if you are using eggs. Bake at 230 degrees for 15 minutes.
