4 cups flour

1 tbsp Tumeric

1 tbsp Curry

1 tbsp Salt

2 tbsp Crisco (shortening)

2 cups Ice Cold Water to knead dough

4 oz cold butter slices

Filling

1 Garlic Clove

¼ cup Mince Sweet Pepper

1 tsp Thyme

¼ cup Onions, minced

¼ cup chopped spring onions

1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper, minced

600 g ground beef (or meat of your choice)

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1 tsp Tumeric

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp ketchup

⅓ tsp breadcrumbs

1 oz water

DOUGH
After combining all ingredients (minus the butter and shortening) for the dough, cover with Saran Wrap and place in the refrigerator for about half hour.

Remove the dough from refrigerator and flour a flat surface before flattening the dough with a rolling pin.

After flattening, paste the 2 tsp of Crisco shortening across the dough and then add 4 oz of cold butter slices spread out evenly across the dough.

Fold the dough into three and use the rolling pin to incorporate the butter into the dough. Flour accordingly to prevent sticking.

After flattening, add the 4 oz of cold butter slices spread out evenly across the dough and fold it into the dough.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

FILLING

Sauté the garlic, bell pepper, thyme, onions, scotch bonnet in a greased sauce pan. Add the ground beef gradually to the mixture. Add the paprika, salt, tumeric, black pepper and ketchup for seasoning and flavor. Add the breadcrumbs to thicken the sauce and 1 OZ of water and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.

Combining Filling and Dough:

Cut the dough into parts depending on the size of the patties you want. Add fillings to the dough. Use a fork to design and seal the dough. Place the patties on a flat baking tray lined with grease paper. Place patties in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until edges of patties start to become golden brown.
