In a medium bowl, toss the sugar and cornstarch to get rid of any lumps of cornstarch; add the berries and the lemon juice. Pour into the pie plate and dot with butter.Roll out the remaining pastry, making a circle slightly larger than your pie plate. Cut rough holes for the eyes and nose, and make the mouth with the tip of a knife, without cutting all the way through.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a tea towel and let rise for an hour or two, until doubled in size. If you want to make it ahead of time, refrigerate the dough for up to 12 hours to slow the rise.
