  • 1 teaspoon Soy sauce, low sodium

  • 1 teaspoon Ketchup

  • ¼ cup Breadcrumbs

  • ¾ cup Water

  • 1 Egg, large

MAKE IT!

For Dough:

  1. Stir together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, turmeric, and curry powder until evenly blended.

  2. Using a fork or your hands, cut in the cubed cold butter and/or shortening into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly like sand.

  3. Gently fold in cream until a soft sticky dough forms. Roll dough into a loose ball.

  4. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes or until fat re-solidifies and dough is cold to the touch.

  5. On a well-floured surface, using a well-floured rolling pin, roll dough out to ¼ inch thick.

  6. Using a knife or your fingers, spread the 1/3 cup of butter across the entire surface of the rolled out dough.

  7. Fold the dough into a trifold. Turn the folded dough 90 degrees and fold into another trifold. You will end up with a very thick chunk of square dough. Roll the square out into ½ inch thick rectangle. Fold the rectangle into another trifold.

  8. Rewrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for an additional 30 minutes.

Tip: if you’ve planned ahead you can measure out all the ingredients separately and store them in the fridge before assembling your dough.

For Beef Filling:

  1. In a sauté pan, over medium high heat, heat oil and add vegetables and sauté until onions are translucent.

  2. Add ground beef, Taste Tutor Seasoning 101, Taste Tutor Jerk Seasoning, soy sauce, and ketchup. Sauté 15 minutes until beef is a nice brown color.

  3. Add breadcrumbs and ¾ cup water. Cook on high an additional 5 minutes until the mixture comes together.

For Assembly:

  1. Preheat oven to 425F.

  2. Once dough is chilled, cut dough in half for easily manageable rolling. Roll into a 14” x 18” rectangle that is ¼ inch thick. Cut into desired sized shapes and fill with 2 heaping tablespoons of filling.

  3. Brush the edges of the dough with water and seal them. Use a fork to crimp the edges to make sure it your patty stays closed.

  4. Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water to create an egg wash.

  5. Place patties on a wire rack topped baking sheet or a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush top of patties with egg wash. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and flaky.

Yum!!

Store: in airtight container.

Reheat leftovers: in the oven to maintain crispy flaky texture.
