JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES
My mom was born in Jamaica and lived there until she moved to the United States during her university years. I've loved this Jamaican beef patty recipe for most of my life. The savory flavor and spices are just right, and the pastry is flaky and delicious. -Natasha Watson, Douglasville, Georgia

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 6-8 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in curry powder, thyme, pepper and salt; set aside. For crust, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, curry powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water; stir just until moistened. Divide dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 6-in. circle. Place about 1/4 cup filling on 1 half of each circle. Fold crust over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal., Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets; brush with beaten egg. Bake until light brown, 22-25 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm. Transfer to freezer containers; return to freezer. To use, bake pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a preheated 350° oven until heated through, 25-30 minutes.

JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, turmeric , salt, and vegetable shortening. Rub the shortening into the flour using your fingers until there are tiny pieces of shortening completely covered with flour and it has a sandy texture.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of the ice water and mix with your hands to bring the dough together. Keep adding ice water 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
- Cut the dough into 2 large pieces. Wrap each and refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes. Alternatively, before refrigerating, divide the dough into 10 to 12 individual pieces-use a food scale if you want them to be the same size.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the beef in a large bowl. Add the pepper and allspice. Mix together and set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add the chili, if using, thyme, and garlic. Continue to sauté for another minute. Season with salt to taste.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and stir to mix, breaking up any large clumps. Let cook until the meat is no longer pink.
- Add the ketchup. Adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Pour in the water or broth, stirring to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated and whatever is remaining has reduced to a thick sauce.
- Fold in the green onions. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Position 2 racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and heat to 350 F. Generously flour the work surface. Unwrap 1 of the pieces of dough and roll it out into a very large circle.
- Cut out 3 circles with a bowl or dish of approximately 5 inches in diameter. If you divided the dough into 10 to 12 small balls, roll them all out into a circle of approximately 5 inches in diameter.
- Place about 3 heaping tablespoons of the filling onto one half of each circle. Dip a finger into a bit of water and moisten the edges of the pastry.
- Fold over the other half and press to seal. With a fork, crimp the edges to close. Cut off any extra to give the patties a uniform look.
- Place the finished patties on two parchment-lined baking sheets and continue to work until you have rolled out all of the dough and used all of the beef. Place in the fridge until ready to bake.
- Just before baking, beat the egg and the remaining 1 tablespoon of water together to make an egg wash . Brush the assembled patties with egg wash.
- Bake patties until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes, flipping baking sheets in the oven halfway through cooking. Cool on wire racks. Enjoy warm.

JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES
The Jamaican beef patty is an island's history in the palm of a hand. Dubbed Jamaica's "No. 1 fast food" by Enid Donaldson, author of "The Real Taste of Jamaica," a beef patty's filling is spiced, then baked inside of a suet dough. These pastries are often filled with seasoned ground beef, but can include pork, lamb, lobster, shrimp, cheese, chicken and ackee. The dish is a byproduct of Jamaica's long history - the introduction of spices from African slaves, as well as Indian and Chinese indentured laborers, impacted the patty's development. But while this meal is found throughout Jamaica, it's also present wherever the Caribbean diaspora is around the globe. Both the dough and the filling can be made prior to baking. Eat with coco bread for a more substantial meal.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Whisk flour in a medium bowl, then whisk in turmeric, sugar and salt. Work in shortening and beef suet quickly, rubbing them into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the mixture is evenly crumbly. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice cold water while stirring with your hands to form the dough. If the dough isn't coming together, add more water by the tablespoon as necessary. Form dough into a ball, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- While the dough is chilling, make the filling: Heat a large frying pan over medium, then add vegetable oil. Fry scotch bonnet peppers and onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 8 minutes. Season with allspice, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, soy sauce and the beef stock mixture. Cook, stirring, until most of the liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a dish and let cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. (The filling can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.)
- When ready to assemble patties, heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll on a lightly floured work surface with a lightly floured pin into a 12-inch square. (Turmeric will stain a porous work surface. Roll between sheets of parchment paper if needed.) Fold dough in half to form a rectangle, then fold again the other way to form a square. Roll again into a 12-inch square. Repeat this process 3 more times, letting dough rest as needed if it's too stiff to roll. Roll to 1/8-inch thickness, then use a bowl or pastry cutter to cut out 10 (6-inch) rounds, rerolling scraps as necessary.
- Divide beef mixture among rounds, spooning about 1/4 cup onto one side of each round. Fold the other side of each round over the meat until the edges meet. Using a fork, seal the edges, then prick the center of each to allow steam to escape.
- Place patties on 1 or 2 baking sheets, and bake until pastry is set and golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, and pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup margarine and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Do not overstir; that makes tough crust. Shape dough into a log, and cut into 10 equal sections. Roll each section into a six inch circle (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Set aside.
- Next, prepare the filling.: Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft and translucent. Stir in ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon curry powder, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned, stirring constantly. Stir in beef broth and bread crumbs. Simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
- Now make the patties: Spoon some filling into each pastry circle. Fold over and press edges together, making a half circle. Use a fork to press edges, and brush the top of each patty with beaten egg.
- Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- NOTE: If you have the time and organization, it might be best to make the filling in advance, long enough to cool down before fillng the pastry. Otherwise, it might melt the pastry somewhat. Just a thought from a review on another recipe.

JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES
Nicely spiced and not difficult to make. I use a little gadget for making perogies that cuts the circle, folds the pastry in half once the meat is in and crimps the edges (great investment of two bucks!). They turn out smaller, but are a good size for an appetizer. I serve these with a commercial Jerk barbecue sauce.

Steps:
- Pastry: Sift together flour, baking powder, turmeric, curry and salt.
- Cut in shortening with pastry blender or until pastry has consistency of corn meal. (I have used food processor and "pulsed" the mixture with good results) Add egg to water and mix well.
- Add just enough of this mixture to flour mixture in order to hold dough together, mixing it in with your fingers.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Filling: Add chopped onions and peppers to ground beef and mix well with hands.
- Heat oil in large frying pan or dutch oven.
- Add meat mixture.
- Cook until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add breadcrumbs and seasonings and stir well.
- Add water.
- Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or as long as needed to evaporate the excess liquid (mixture should be just wet, not runny or not dry).
- Allow meat mixture to cool while rolling pastry.
- Divide the dough into 24 even-sized pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough to a thickness of 3/8 of an inch and cut into 4 inch circle.
- Keep patty dough circles moist by stacking and covering them with a damp cloth.
- After all circles are cut, take one at a time and spoon on enough filling to cover half the circle.
- Fold the other half over, and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
- Bake the patties on ungreased baking sheets and bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes.
- Serve hot.
