Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 8 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 whole Scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and turmeric powder.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together. Form it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, and drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and optional Scotch bonnet pepper to the beef. Cook until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the allspice, thyme, and curry powder, and cook for another 2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs and beef broth, stirring until well combined. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the beef filling onto one half of each circle, leaving space around the edges.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the patties.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Jamaican beef patties!
