Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. 2 Prepare pastry: Combine flour, 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. 3 Stir in water until mixture forms a ball.
4. 4 Shape dough into a log and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle (approximately 1/8-inch thick) on a lightly floured surface; set aside.
5. 5 To make the beef filling: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and diced Scotch bonnet pepper until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in ground beef; season with 1 teaspoon curry powder, allspice, ground cloves, thyme, pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until beef is evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Crumble in bouillon cube and stir in 1/2 cup of water and browning sauce until well combined; add bay leaf and simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove skillet from heat; discard bay leaf and stir in bread crumbs.
6. 6 Spoon equal amounts of filling onto each pastry circle.
7. 7 Fold over and press edges together, making a half-circle. Use the back of a fork to seal edges, then brush tops with beaten egg. Place pastries on a baking sheet.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
