Инструкции
- 1. To make the pastry, sift together the flour, baking pwdr, turmeric, and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or possibly 2 knives till the dough has the consistency of cornmeal. Gradually add in just sufficient cool water to hold the dough together, mixing it in with your fingers or possibly a dough hook.
- The key, however, is never overwork your dough!
- 2. Wrap the dough in foil or possibly plastic wrap and chill while you prepare the filling. You may also chill the dough as long as overnight, but then you will need to give it 15 min to hot up before using.
- 3. To prepare the filling, mince the onions, scallions, and peppers in a food processor, or possibly chop very finely by hand. Add in to the beef and mix well.
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or possibly large skillet, then cook the meat mix in it till just lightly browned, about 10 min. Add in the bread crumbs and seasonings and stir well. Add in the water. Cover and simmer for 20-30 min, as needed to evaporate excess liquid. The mix should be just wet, not runny or possibly dry. Allow to cold while you roll out the pastry.
- 4. Preheat the oven to 200 degC . Divide the dough into 24 even-sized pcs. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough to a thickness of about 3/4 cm - a little thicker than pie dough - and cut into a circle using a small saucer (approximately 10 cm across). Keep the patty dough circles moist by stacking and covering with a damp cloth. After all the circles are cut, take one at a time, and spoon on sufficient filling to cover half of the circle. Fold the other half over, and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
- 5. Bake the patties on ungreased baking sheets for 30-35 min. Serve warm when possible; however, Jamaicans will eat them any way they can!
