Beef Patties

1: In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, curry powder, bijol seasoning, and sugar.

2: Cut in the cold unsalted butter and vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3: Gradually add the ice water until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4: For the filling, cook the ground beef until browned, then add onion, garlic, scallions, bell pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper. Cook until softened.

5: Stir in thyme, crushed pimento seeds, ginger paste, salt, black pepper, ketchup, soy sauce, browning, and breadcrumbs. Mix well.

6: Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Place filling on one half, fold over, and crimp edges to seal.

7: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg.

8: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
