## Ingredients

- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 1 thumb-sized piece ginger
- 3 scotch bonnet peppers
- 2 scallions
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup cold butter
- 1 egg wash

## Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a pan, sauté ground beef with butter. Add salt, pepper, and curry powder. Stir in chopped green bell peppers.
2. Prepare the spice paste: In a food processor, blend chopped onion, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers, scallions, thyme, salt and pepper, soy sauce, and curry powder.
3. Combine filling and spice paste in the pan and mix well. Add broth and simmer.
4. Prepare the dough: In a food processor, blend flour, baking powder, salt, and cold butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add water gradually until it forms a dough.
5. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out thinly, sprinkle grated cold butter evenly over the surface.
6. Fold the dough in half, roll it again, and repeat once more.  Cut circles of dough using a plate as a guide.
7. Brush each circle with egg wash, add a spoonful of the meat mixture, and fold the dough over into a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges using a fork to seal.
8. Bake the patties in the oven. Once baked, brush with more egg wash and sprinkle with salt. Garnish with thyme before serving.
