Instructions
1
Make the Pastry flour base
To a large container, toss in ground mix, 1 teaspoon table salt, and turmeric and agitate thoroughly.
2
Rub shortening into ground mix until there are small pieces of shortening completely covered with ground mix.
3
empty in 1/2 cup of the ice liquid and agitate with your hands to bring the flour base together.
4
Keep adding ice liquid 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time until the mixture forms a flour base.
5
At this stage, you can cut the flour base into 2 large pieces, wrap in plastic and store in the fridge for 30 moments before using it.
6
Alternatively, cut the flour base into 10 to 12 equal pieces, place on a platter or baking sheet, put a lid on securely with plastic wrap and let cool down for 30 moments while you make the filling.
7
Make the Filling
toss in ground beef to a large container.
8
scatter in allspice and black pepper.
9
agitate together and set aside.
10
toasty fat in a skillet until burning.
11
toss in onions and sauté until translucent.
12
toss in burning pepper, garlic and thyme and continue to sauté for another minute.
13
toss in 1/4 teaspoon table salt.
14
toss in seasoned ground beef and toss to agitate, breaking up any clumps, and let low-boil until the flesh is no longer pink.
15
toss in ketchup and more table salt to taste.
16
empty in 2 cups of liquid and agitate.
17
Bring the mixture to a heat to boiling point then reduce toasty and let low-boil until most of the liquid has evaporated and whatever is remaining has reduced to a thick coulis.
19
Remove from toasty and let cool completely.
20
Assemble the Patties
Beat the egg and liquid together to make an egg wash.
22
Now you can prepare the flour base in two ways.
23
First Method: ground mix the work surface and rolling pin.
24
If you had cut it into 2 large pieces, then take one of the large pieces and roll it out into a very large circle.
25
Take a container with a wide rim (about 5 inches) and cut out three circles.
26
Place about 3 heaping tablespoons of the filling onto 1/2 of each circle.
27
Dip a finger into the liquid and moisten the edges of the pastry.
28
Fold over the other half and press to seal.
29
Take a fork and crimp the edges.
30
Cut off any extra to make it look neat and uniform.
31
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue to work until you have rolled all the flour base and filled the patties.
32
Second Method: If you had pre-cut the flour base into individual pieces, work with one piece of flour base at a time.
33
Roll it out on a floured surface into a 5-inch circle or a little larger.
34
Don’t worry if the edges are not ideal.
35
Place 3 heaping tablespoons of the filling on one side of the circle.
36
Dip a finger into the liquid and moisten the edges of the pastry.
37
Fold over the other half and press to seal.
38
Take a fork and crimp the edges.
39
Cut off any extra to make it look neat and uniform.
40
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and continue work until you have rolled all the flour base and filled the patties.
41
Frying and Serving the Patties
After forming the patties, place the pans in the refrigerator while you toasty the oven to 350 F.
42
Just before adding the pans with the patties to the oven, brush the patties with egg wash.
43
cook thoroughly patties for 30 moments or until golden brown.
