Ingredients
Pastry:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
-
1 pinch salt
-
¼ cup butter or margarine
-
¼ cup shortening
-
⅓ cup water
Filling:
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 small onion, finely diced
-
1 Scotch bonnet pepper - stemmed, seeded, and minced
-
1 teaspoon curry powder
-
1 teaspoon allspice
-
1 teaspoon ground cloves
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground back pepper
-
pinch of salt
-
1 beef bouillon cube
-
½ cup water
-
2 tablespoons browning seasoning sauce
-
1 bay leaf
-
½ cup dry bread crumbs
-
1 egg, beaten
Directions
-
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Prepare pastry: Combine flour, 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in water until mixture forms a ball.
-
Shape dough into a log and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle (approximately 1/8-inch thick) on a lightly floured surface; set aside.
-
To make the beef filling: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and diced Scotch bonnet pepper until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in ground beef; season with 1 teaspoon curry powder, allspice, ground cloves, thyme, pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until beef is evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Crumble in bouillon cube and stir in 1/2 cup of water and browning sauce until well combined; add bay leaf and simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove skillet from heat; discard bay leaf and stir in bread crumbs.
-
Spoon equal amounts of filling onto each pastry circle.
-
Fold over and press edges together, making a half-circle. Use the back of a fork to seal edges, then brush tops with beaten egg. Place pastries on a baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
