For the Pastry:
- In a mixing bowl, add salt and flour. Whisk to combine. Beat in the butter until completely incorporated.

For the Filling:

To Assemble the Pie:

- Sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, then place the dough on it. Knead the dough and roll it to about 12 inches. Place it onto the pie plate.
- Add the meat mixture on top of the dough and spread it evenly. Brush the sides with egg wash.
- Unroll the pastry over the meat layer and fold it. Cover it with egg wash as well and poke small holes on top with a fork.
