Beef Patties

Beef patties are a great snack to try and make at home. I got this recipe for beef patties from my SIL's sister who attended some course in baking.

 

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked beef mince

For the PUFF PASTRY:

All-purpose flour (maida) – 220 gms

Puff fat – 115 gms – for folding

Shortening (ghee) – 20 gms – for mixing

Salt to taste

Chilled water to knead the dough

Method:

• Make a dough with the flour, salt and chilled water, knead in 20 gms shortening and clear the dough.
• Relax the dough in a cool place for ½ an hour covering with a wet cloth. 
• Sheet the dough in a rectangular shape. 
• Spread 115 gms fat evenly on the dough sheet. 
• Cut the sheet vertically in 7 or 8 strips in such a manner that each subsequent strip is broader than the preceding strip. 
• Roll the first strip like a swiss roll. 
• Keep this roll on the next strip and roll. 
• Similarly, roll all the subsequent strips. 
• Relax the folded dough for ½ hr. covered with a moist cloth in a cool place. 
• Sheet the dough and cut into squares/rectangles. 
• Put the beef mince filling and fold it, pressing lightly.
