Pasties? I think autocorrect messed with your title

Sorry, I thought they were a take on Welsh pasties. I made the assumption because in the US "patties" is usually used to refer to just the meat, as in "We need buns for those hamburger patties".

They look tasty.

No apologies needed friend. Cool, I learned something new today, because I’ve never known a food as pasties. Also looked up Welsh Pasties and they look fantastic as well. Added to my list, so maybe you’ll see them floating around on here from me some day!

Sure!

First time making it, so I got to reading a couple different recipes to compare the similarities and differences. There’s also a fantastic YouTube video with a Jamaican Chef here although he doesn’t give recipes, unfortunately they are behind a paywall. However I found this blog and then incorporated the ingredients from the chefs recipe into this one, most notably a spoonful of tomato paste. Hope this helps!

Nice, those things look like they have about as much meat as 10 of the store-bought Frozen beef patties.

For those in London, there’s a shop that does these down New Row between Leicester Square and Covent Garden

These look quite tasty! At first glance, I thought it was one of those hyper realistic cakes that was a lemon.

The blog using garam masala is hilarious - they really misinterpreted what curry means for Jamaica. I’m sure it’s tasty but if you’re going for Jamaican beef Patties would recommend using a more Jamaican spice blend. (Plenty of recipes for that around)

It looks like a curry puff?

Cornish pasties predate Spanish empanadas by a few hundred years. So it might be fair to say that empanadas and patties are Spanish and Jamaican versions of a cornish pasty. The patty is more likely to be a Jamaican take on the patty though tbf. The empanadas could have developed independently. They are all just meat and veg wrapped in pastry at the end of the day.

Ooo I could go for a beef pattie. I’m over the frozen store bought ones but a homemade one is class.

The dough is essentially a southern biscuit dough without baking powders. Only five ingredients, so super simple but you have to be very fast at it because it becomes basically impossible to work with once it gets warm. Here’s the list for you:

Flour, salt, butter, ice water, curry powder, and turmeric. I also posted the recipes I used as a guideline above if you’d like to make it!

I have never, In my 30 years of eating patties. Bought one as full as that.

I’m not complaining about them being overstuffed lmao. They are a tad bigger than store bought to be fair, but now that I’ve made them from scratch I don’t feel comfortable having store bought as a test control lol.

I miss these. Used to have a stall near my hospital but it closed a few months after when nobody's buying. I ate 4 or more of these everyday.
