How to Make Caribbean Patties Meat
- **Prepare the Pastry (Night Before):**
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water (about ½ cup), mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
- **Prepare the Filling:**
- Finely chop 1 medium onion and 1-2 scotch bonnet peppers (adjust to your spice preference).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Stir in ½ cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon curry powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Add ½ cup water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
- **Assemble and Bake:**
- About 15 minutes before assembling, remove the dough from the refrigerator to soften slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness.
- Use a 4-inch saucer or cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Lightly flour the circles and stack them, covering with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place a spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of filling onto one half of each pastry circle. Fold the other half over the filling, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Place the patties onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
