MAKE IT!
For Dough:
- Stir together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, turmeric, and curry powder until evenly blended. 
- Using a fork or your hands, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly like sand. 
- Gently fold in cream until a soft sticky dough forms. Roll dough into a loose ball. 
- Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes or until fat re-solidifies and dough is cold to the touch. 
- On a well-floured surface, using a well-floured rolling pin, roll dough out to ¼ inch thick. 
- Using a knife or your fingers, spread the 1/3 cup of shortening across the entire surface of the rolled out dough. 
- Fold the dough into a trifold. Turn the folded dough 90 degrees and fold into another trifold. You will end up with a very thick chunk of square dough. Roll the square out into ½ inch thick rectangle. Fold the rectangle into another trifold. 
- Rewrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for an additional 30 minutes. 
Tip: if you’ve planned ahead you can measure out all the ingredients separately and store them in the fridge before assembling your dough.
For Jerk Potato Filling:
- In a sauté pan, over medium high heat, heat oil and add vegetables and sauté until onions are translucent. 
- Add potatoes, Taste Tutor Seasoning 101, Taste Tutor Jerk Seasoning, soy sauce, and ketchup. Sauté 20 minutes until potatoes are a nice brown color and soft. 
- Add breadcrumbs and ¾ cup water. Cook on high an additional 5 minutes until the mixture comes together. 
For Assembly:
- Preheat oven to 425F. 
- Once dough is chilled, cut dough in half for easily manageable rolling. Roll into a 14” x 18” rectangle that is ¼ inch thick. Cut into desired sized shapes and fill with 2 heaping tablespoons of filling. 
- Brush the edges of the dough with water and seal them. Use a fork to crimp the edges to make sure it your patty stays closed. 
- Place patties on a wire rack topped baking sheet or a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush top of patties with egg wash. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
