Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Cut cold butter into flour, turmeric, and salt until crumbly, add ice water to form dough, and chill 30 minutes.
  2. While the dough chills, brown ground beef with diced onion, scallions, thyme, curry powder, and minced Scotch bonnet 8 minutes, until no pink remains (160F).
  3. Stir in breadcrumbs and a splash of water; simmer 5 minutes into a moist filling and cool.
  4. Roll dough thin and cut into 6-inch circles.
  5. Spoon filling onto each circle, fold over, and crimp the edges with a fork.
  6. Bake at 375 F for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden.
