Preheat the oven to 325 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the dough according to the "Savory Pastry Dough" recipe (linked above).
Flour your surface and roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thick.
Using a 3 inch circle cookie cutter, cut out as many circles as possible.
Remove the access dough.
In the center of one circle, place 1 tablespoon of filling.
Take another circle and place on top of the dough.
Crimp the edges of the circle with a fork. Add and "X" slash mark on the top of the dough.
Repeat for the rest of the hand pies.
Brush the hand pies with an egg yolk wash.
Place them in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.
