1. Skin chickens, remove breast portions and put to one side. Bone what is left and cut meat into small pieces.
2. Cut any remaining fat and skin from 2 livers, then wash, dry and chop.
3. Cut bacon into 1 cm (1/3 in) rashers. Put prepared chicken and bacon on a plate, sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme and sage, then place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4. Clean, wipe and slice mushrooms thinly. Wash cabbage leaves, cutting away thick stems.
5. Sift flour onto pastry board, add 1 egg, salt, and half the water and knead to smooth dough, adding more water if necessary.
6. When kneaded sufficiently, the pastry should have a dull sheen. Shape into a ball, brush with oil, invert a bowl over pastry and let sit for 30 minutes.

10. Roll out dough on floured surface into large, paper thin rectangle. Cut off any thick edges and brush with melted clarified butter all over.
