How to Make Jamaican Me Crazy Beef Patties
- **Beef Filling:**
- In a large pan, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tsp ground allspice, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 1/4 cup water.
- Simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid. Adjust seasonings to taste. Let cool completely.
- **Dough:**
- **Starter:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 tsp active dry yeast, 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp turmeric (optional), and 1 tsp salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter or shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the risen starter and 1 large egg.
- Add the yeast-egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into an 8-10 inch oval.
- Place about 1/4 cup of filling onto one half of each oval. Fold the other half over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Arrange 8 patties on each baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
