After a quick research, I found a good recipe from this site, did a few changes and voila! Jamaican patties that took me back to that small store in SM City North Edsa Annex.
What you need:
Pastry
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tbsp. curry powder
1/4 cup Solid shortening
1/2 stick margarine, cubed
1/3 cup Cold water
Beef Filling
2 tbsp. oil
1 small white onion, Finely chopped
1/2 lb. Lean ground beef
1/2 tsp. Curry powder
1/2 tsp. Dried thyme
1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Beef or chicken stock
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a small pan, add the oil, saute onions until translucent and then add ground beef. Stir occasionally and cook until beef is tender. Add curry powder, thyme and chicken stock. Simmer for a few minutes, then add the breadcrumbs and then some salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
For the pastry: Sift flour, salt and curry powder on your mixer bowl. Attach dough hook. Add the shortening and margarine and put into medium speed. Dough will start to become crumbly, add cold water. Dough will start to form into a ball. Lightly flour a clean counter top and then using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut dough into circles (I used a small saucer as guide).
Preheat oven to 350 F
Scoop around 2 tbsp. of filling into the dough, fold in half like an empanada, and then seal ends with a fork. Brush with egg wash and then bake for 30-35 minutes. Recipe makes around 8 patties.
Kam's Tips:
- Want it spicier? (AKA Pinatubo style?) I would add red pepper flakes for kick.
- Dough can be kept overnight, just keep it refrigerated, covered with wax paper.
- Dough will be very sticky, so yes, keep that jar of flour right at your side.
Gadgets Used:
- Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer, dough hook attachment. If you don't have one, a dough blender will do :)
- Rolling pin
