I'm looking for a recipe for just the pastry crust for Jamaican meat
patties. I have a lovely spicy filling recipe I'm pleased with but the
included pastry sucked big time.

Jamaican Beef Patties



Dough:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons curry powder

1 cup cold butter or shortening

3/4 cup iced water

1 tablespoon vinegar

2 egg yolks

Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1/4 cup water)

Combine flour, salt, and curry powder in work bowl of food processor, pulse
to combine. Add the butter or shortening and process until the mixture looks
like fine crumbs. In a bowl combine water, vinegar, and egg yolks. Add wet
mixture to work bowl and pulse until a ball forms. Cover dough in plastic
wrap and let rest in refrigerator for 1/2 hour.

Filling:

2 tablespoons peanut oil

1 medium onion, diced

4 sprigs scallions, sliced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

1/2 teaspoon Scotch Bonnet pepper, chopped

1 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon salt

Water

1 cup bread crumbs

Fresh ground pepper

Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat, add onions, scallions, thyme, and
Scotch bonnet peppers. When onion begins to soften, add ground beef, salt,
and enough water to barely cover meat, simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
Add bread crumbs and adjust with salt and pepper, allow to cool.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll the dough out to 1/8-inch thick. Cut
the dough into 6-inch circles. Place 2 tablespoons of the meat filling onto
half of each dough round. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash.
Fold the dough over the filling to make a half moon shape and press to seal.
Place the patties on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in the oven
for 25 to 35 minutes. ***If making the cocktail size, cut the dough into
3-inch circles.

Yield: 15 cocktail or 6 large
