Recently I made Woks of Life Curried Beef Puffs with TJ Puff Pastry … everyone loved them.
Once before I tried a recipe for Jamaican Beef Patties … it was good but I’m wondering if someone has a favorite recipe to recommend.
I’ve never been to Jamaica and have never tried the ones they sell in NYC.
I use this recipe from Serious Eats.It’s been awhile, but here’s my post about it. ETA Ooo! 2020!
This time I used Goya wrappers. There are those for baking and those for frying. I think I mixed them up.
I highly recommend these frozen ones I get in ATL for the crust, not as good as the ones in Queens in the 70’s, and I much prefer my own filling (and crimping!)
I haven’t tried making them. I really enjoy trying different patties available in Toronto
I made some delicious ones for a Chowhound COTM, maybe? I didn’t save the recipe and can’t figure out where I got it from, so I’ll be watching the replies here in hope. I just remember the pastry was incredibly flaky.
I’m thinking of laminating the pastry, want to use all butter.
That sounds good.
That said, a traditional Jamaican patty was meant to be an affordable and portable meal, for those working, much like a Cornish pasty.
A laminated butter pastry turnover is another kind of thing! Delicious. A posh turnover.
Suzanne Barr is a talented chef. I haven’t made this recipe. I have enjoyed eating at 2 of her restaurants.
