    Method

    1. 1

      Pulse the flour, turmeric, curry powder and salt with the butter until pea-sized. Add ice water until it just holds. Wrap and chill 1 hour.

      Brown the beef, then add the onion, scallions, garlic, Scotch bonnet, thyme and spices. Add the stock and simmer 10 minutes, then stir in the breadcrumbs to bind. Cool.

    3. 3

      Roll the pastry 3 mm thick and cut 13 cm (5 in) rounds.

    4. 4

      Fill one half, brush the edge with water, fold over and crimp with a fork.

    5. 5

      Brush with egg and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25 minutes until golden and flaky, or fry at 175°C (350°F) until crisp.
