A delightful twist on the classic Jamaican beef patty, these pastries are filled with a flavorful beef mixture and encased in a flaky, golden crust.
Combine the flour, curry powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavor.
Cut in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the fats evenly.
Gradually add the ice-cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Shape into a log and chill.
Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and roll out.
Sauté the onion in a skillet until soft.
Cooking the onion first enhances its sweetness and flavor.
Add the ground beef, curry powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.
Break up the beef into small pieces for even cooking.
Stir in the beef broth and bread crumbs. Simmer until the liquid is absorbed. Cool the filling.
Cooling the filling prevents the dough from becoming soggy during assembly.
Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Place filling on each circle.
Use a round cutter or a bowl to create uniform circles.
Fold the dough over the filling to form half-moons. Seal edges with a fork.
Pressing the edges firmly prevents the filling from leaking out.
Brush the pastries with beaten egg and place on a baking sheet.
The egg wash gives the pastries a beautiful golden color.
Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the pastries halfway through to ensure even baking.
