I found this to be a good recipe, but a bit on the dry side. I corrected this by replacing the margerine and shortening in the pastry with 3/4 cups of cold butter. I also added a little more than 2/3 cup of water. I also used 3/4 cup of beef gravy and substituted butter for margerine in the meat. I haven't gotten the meat filling as spicy as I want it, but I see someone else metioned jerk sauce so I'll try that out...

These are delicious. I agree with others - make more dough or decrease the meet. I got eight out of it as written. Definately add a bit more more spice and throw in some cayenne pepper. They were gone in a third of the time it took to make them. Worth the effort.

Very easy to make. Have some fussy eaters and all really enjoyed it. Does not have a very strong curry taste so the new to the taste can enjoy it without being overwhelmed.

I was a little disappointed with these. They were not what i was expecting however they still got ate. I would not recommend the curry powder in the batter mix. The taste seems to take over. Next time I will try that and see if I like them better.

These turned out very good! I used 1/2c shortening rather than margarine for the crust and added about 3 Tbsp of jerk seasoning to the filling to make it extra spicy. I will definately make these again

This is a good recipe, that strangely enough I found ingredient for ingredient on a copycat website for the Bahama Breeze restaraunt chain. I made a few additions: Add a little sautee'd habanero or jalepeno pepper to the mixture. Also, I made the pastry in the food processor. Add the fats to the flour/salt mix and pulse for a minute or two until crumbly. Then add the cold water and pulse until a dough forms. Then you can roll it out. To go with it I mix a tad bit of premade salsa into about a cupful of sour cream. I also make a mango/apple salsa with mango, apple, orange juice, cilantro, bell pepper and red onion. My husband goes crazy over this...

Really nice and tasty beef patties.I have bought patties and i have always found the pastry to be quite soft which i was not over keen on but the pastry on these is lovely an almost melt in the mouth texture. These will definitely be a firm favourite in our home from now on.Great recipe thanks

I was hungry for curry and looking for a recipe that didn't require the apple or coconut milk I didn't have, and I decided to try these. I'm so glad I did! They're really good, and not that difficult to make. Since some other reviewers complained about dryness, I just eyeballed the amount of broth and bread crumbs until it seemed like the meat mixture was moist enough. I was concerned that the pastries might stick to the baking sheet since it didn't say to grease it, but they did not. I loved the flakiness of the pastry and the curry in it, and I would not advise substituting store bought pie crust for it as others have suggested. I also found the pastry to be easy to handle. I halved the recipe because there are only two of us, and I wish I hadn't.

I am not familiar with how beef patties are supposed to taste, but my husband who is very picky like them (he's from the Carribean). They were ok for me also. The only adjustment I made was to use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose, and I also used a dash of ginger and a little more than suggested of the beef broth as others previously suggested.

FIRST ,I USED PREMADE GOYA EMPANADA DISC'S ,INSTEAD OF THE DOUGH MIXTURE.SAVES TIME.NEXT I THOUGHT THE FILLING MIXTURE TASTED BLAND. I ADDED PAPRIKA,MINCED GARLIC, AND RED CHILI POWDER ALONG WITH A BIT MORE CURRY. I HAD READ ALL THE REVIEWS BEFORE COOKING ,SO I NEW TO ADD MORE BROTH AND LESS BREAD CRUMBS. I HAD TRIED TO MAKE THESE PATTIES BEFORE AND WAS PLEASED TO FIND OUT MY MISSING INGREDIANTS WERE THE BROTH, CURRY POWDER AND BREAD CRUMBS.ALSO I NEVER HAD TRIED TO BAKE THEM BEFORE. THE END RESULT WAS MY FAMILY LOVED THEM.

These tasted delicious but I agree with some of the other reviewers that the filling was a little too dry. I think I may be comparing them to some commercial Jamaican patties I have bought previously. I like the spicing just as it is but next time I shall add some cooked carrots to the filling and make the pastry slightly thicker so that it doesn't dry out in the baking. Apart from that I was very pleased with the results and plan to make them again and I will use them for my contribution to put luck meals with my friends (probably as miniature patties.)

My boyfriend and I thought they were very good, next time we will omit the curry fromt he dough, but leave it in the mixture. It reminds me of the beef patties you can buy at the corner store in the city. We will make them again!

These patties were divine. Very similar to the ones loved when I lived in Orlando. For an easy crust, purchase pre-rolled pie crust dough, cut into a half circle, spoon meat onto one side and fold dough over to form a pie wedge-shaped patty. Great as appetizers or a main dish.

I made both the pastry & filling. The meat tasted nice before I put it in the pastry but the finished product was too dry. This really needs some kind of dipping sauce (like Mint & Yoghurt). Not sure I would go to the effort of making again.

This recipe was good; however, I agree that it needs to keep some liquid. I used half the bread crumbs and that worked. Also, my husband and I think these would be better with a sweet dipping sauce. Not sure what kind yet, but I'll try it next time.
