Preparation

Step 1

Pastry:
In a bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar and almond milk. Whip to soft peaks.
Mix in the coconut oil.
Slowly add the coconut flour, curry, baking powder and salt. The dough will thicken.
Mix until smooth.
Filling:
Saute the onions, curry powder, thyme, salt, ground pepper in a frying pan.
Add the ground beef.
Continue cooking on low-medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and the juices have been re-absorbed.
Jamaican Patties:
*NOTE* Please see the diagram on the blog post for more detailed instructions.
Preheat your oven to 350 F.
Cut a piece of parchment paper the same size as your baking sheet.
*If your baking sheet has edges that prevent rolling the dough, lay your parchment paper on a flat surface.
Take the dough and make 4-6 balls. (I made 4 large Jamaican patties, you can make them smaller).
Place wax paper or parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough.
Place some hamburger filling on each piece of dough. Don't overfill, if in doubt use less.
Refer to the diagram for this part. Lift the parchment paper over the dough, then press the dough into the other half. Press the edges with a fork.
Lift the parchment paper off and repeat for the other side.
*My recipe notes are smudged where I wrote the baking time. It is either 30 or 40 minutes. The jamaican patties are done when the dough is cooked through. It is crispy and not burnt.
