The patties are basically pasties with mince meat filling.
At the mo' I seal the meat in the pastry and then bake it.
cheers

~The kids complain that the pastry on my patties is too dry and flaky.

Could you please describe what you are using it for?
Are the patties inside a pastry crust?
Are they meat or vegetable filling?
Would a bread dough be more to the kids liking?
Is the pastry fried or baked?

Where I live, you can get a meat pie with a flaky crust like what you
describe, or a "pizza dough" kind of crust.
