Jamaican Beef Patties

[Aubergine]

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!

“Jamaican patties” from “all the things” in my fridge and freezer. [16018591110608320995554907440290] Makingthe best of things is hard.

Thanks for asking! It varies. The filling is usually a variation on one from Serious Eats, but this time I started out with one from Immaculate/African Bites , which is simpler. I came back to the Serious Eats recipe. The real issue is often the pastry which i rarely make myself. This time I used wholly wholesome, which i had in the freezer, but I usually use Saltena empanada wrappers. This is a picture with the Saltena wrapper. 956b99c4fe76a21833848877231f03ed16159f3a_2_1400x1050|700x525 […

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!)
