Ingredients:
- Crust
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons canola oil
- ⅓ cup ice water
- 1 large egg yolk
Filling
- 8 ounces 93%-lean ground beef
- 1 bunch scallions, minced
- 1 teaspoon Pain is Good Batch #114 Jamaican Style Hot Sauce
- ¼ cup fine dry breadcrumbs (see Note)
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions:
- To prepare crust: Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, 1 teaspoon turmeric, ¾ teaspoon salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and quickly rub them into the dry ingredients with your fingers until smaller but still visible. Add oil and toss with a fork to combine. Whisk water and egg yolk in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir until the dough begins to come together. Knead in the bowl a few times until it forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- To prepare filling: Cook ground beef in a medium skillet over medium heat, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in Pain is Good Batch #114 Jamaican Style Hot Sauce, breadcrumbs, water, thyme, ¼ teaspoon turmeric and ¼ teaspoon salt; mix well. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- To make patties: Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. On a well-floured surface, roll each piece into a 6-inch circle about ⅜ inch thick. Trim the edges to make an even circle (you might have a bowl the right size to use as a guide). Put about ¼ cup filling on half of the dough, leaving about a ¼-inch border. Fold the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Place on a large baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Bake the patties until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
