For the pastry, you'll need flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and heavy cream.
Make the pastry dough, and perform a series of folds to create a smoother, flakier dough. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Take the scrap pieces of dough and press them into the mini cocottes as the bottom crust. Fill each cocotte with the pot pie filling about ¾ full, then mound a little extra in the center, careful not add too much liquid.

V
Take each pastry circle and place them on of the filled cocottes. Fold the edges of the pastry underneath and crimp as desired. Place the assembled mini pot pies in the fridge for the pastry to firm up for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Crimp the top crusts
VI
Take the mini pot pies out of the fridge and place them on a large baking sheet. Cut a few slits in the top crusts, then brush an egg wash all over, even the crimp.
