Good job, and that's coming from a Jamaican...

[24danielr24]

why the hell is a white girl making this???

[maxibunny]

@24danielr24 I'm pretty sure you can make any kind of food, regardless of skin colour.

[yanks1958]

I made some last night. I wish I saw your video before hand. I used shortening instead of butter but I think I would have preferred a butter pastry.

Admittedly, I did not use your dough recipe but one of the problems I had was that I found that the dough became tougher as I combined the scraps from the cuttings and re-rolled it out. Have you tried using (egad) a tortilla press? I was even considering rectangular ones. Those circles require the maximum amount of re-rolling

[dubterr]

your from Toronto?

[chainsawhand85]

I've been wanting to beef patties at work for a while now but wasn't sure what the finished dough should look like, needless to say your video was very helpful. tyvm

[CandyFloss162010]

I wanna learn how to make patties from a jamaican woman !

That is not how you make the pastry . I am jamaican and know that you dont handle the dough so much because the fat need to be made into layers - this makes it lovely and flakey !

haha curry powder ? That's not how you make it yellow you silly woman. You need yellow coloring powder or accent !

[rustlecompton]

@CandyFloss162010 Maybe you should put up a video so I can learn to make it right, right?

[rustlecompton]

Respond to this video... And yellow food colouring is gross, curry powder was from the recipe I found and it worked quite well thank you

[br33anoia4321]

@CandyFloss162010 Why does she have to be Jamaican to make beef patties?Why can't she put curry in her patties?? My mom does! Problem? >:I

[chriskd270]

@CandyFloss162010 You don't have to be so rude...

[Hottiegurlization]

looks yummy i love beef patties:)

[cheeztrap]

I think "Meghan" is very pretty, and a great cook. Keep up the good work :)

[panamaniak]

Love beef patties! Golden Krust lol

[Jrockfangirl12]

How many does this recipe make?

[rustlecompton]

@Jrockfangirl12 Hey, thanks for watching. The beef really makes quite a bit, but the pastry probably makes about 12 or so, depending on the size of the patties you make. I usually do a double batch on pastry so I can make a lot. The trouble with making them is that everyone wants to eat them, so you have to make extra for yourself! Enjoy!

[kingsalar1]

@rustlecompton I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMMMmm

[br33anoia4321]

@rustlecompton Thanks for the recipe.My mum makes them the same way! :D

[ultimatescapebro]

i made som today in my cooking class, it was delicious

[rustlecompton]

@ultimatescapebro Hey and thanks for watching! So do you take a cooking class outside of school, or did you bring up the video in school? I'm really glad you made some! I love hearing that people are trying out new things, and especially when it works out!

[ultimatescapebro]

@rustlecompton thanks, and yea i made them in my cooking class at my school

[thepineapple1]

So where's the damn BEEF?

[OptimusOne]

I only watched this video because Meghan is cute! :)

[nelsonfromconnecticu]

having lived in miami most of my life..i enjoyed a cuban coffee and a jamaican patty.. now that i live in new england..patties are 1.50 per patty and not available everywhere. i am hoping they come out with a familiar taste. my plus to this is that i can use a high grade of ground beef...and use a healthy heart margarine or butter than a lard mix as in commercial patties.thank you so much

[tatomuck18]

What do I need to make it?

[rustlecompton]

@tatomuck18 Hey just watch the vid, I list off the ingredients and proportions at the beginning. Enjoy!

[texasgp]

Preciate the Video, I learnt a lot 4rm this. I always loved pasrty crust just didn't know how to make it

[Jamaicanmibeautiful]

I did a google search for this this recipe and found what looked like a tutorial by Tracy from Jamaican travel &culture; however, when I clicked the link I got your tutorial instead. I would love to find an authentic Jamaican Pattie recipe.

[neema125]

it would be a girl making the food

[kimhyunjoongfan23]

hey thanks for posting this. I will be trying this recipe, cause my family loves beef patties, im canadian too but i live in arizona! and theres none here. but i love the ones from bathurst station in toronto, i think you need more curry in the meat and it should be refrigerate the dough overnight. Thanks for posting. I love it! :)

[kingjoseph99]

i tasted the first one in some rapping it was good :D

[fishandfestival]

This is wonderful, being taught how to make Jamaican patties by an American woman...I'll definitely be trying this recipe...I always wondered what made the crust yellow and now I know...I hope one day I'll make a patty as good as Tastee patties...Thanks sweetheart!!

[rustlecompton]

@fishandfestival Hey thanks for watching, glad you liked the recipe. But I am Canadian :) I'm actually going to be making some more patties today for snacks throughout the week.

[fishandfestival]

@rustlecompton You're amazing...You make me want to eat juicy, moist patties all day long...Mmmmm.

[bluediemond]

@rustlecompton Didn't realize Canadians weren't American. Thought N America, Central American and S America were all Americans.

[ihatefatpeople3000]

@fishandfestival Your a sarcastic bastard eh?

[shirleytach81]

@fishandfestival HAHA..I knew she was Canadian as soon as I saw the "No Name" brand flour....from NO FRILLS....HAHA!!

[ThePaullett]

@fishandfestival I myself am a very white looking professional chef. I bet I can make better Indian food than most Indians. I may not speak a bunch of languages fluently but I can cook the food fluently! You really can't tell what a persons nationality is by how they look or even sound these days. FYI Canadians and Americans are no closer than a Jamaican and an African. They can look look alike to the untrained eye but they are very different.

[Hervinbalfour]

It looks good but I would have a lot more curry to the dough. My grandmother also would refrigerate the dough for a couple of hours or overnight as this will darken the color of the crust as a well as make sure the soices are thoroughly absorbed in the crust.

[rustlecompton]

@Hervinbalfour Hey thanks for watching. Ya I think I might up the curry content in the pastry, it needs more flavour I think. And as for the chilling yes for sure it's good to let rest in the fridge, though I sometimes get impatient and want the patties faster. But I'll have to try letting it go overnight and see if it makes a difference, my guess is it probably does. Thanks for the advice, it's always awesome to get tips from people.

[Hervinbalfour]

@rustlecompton I learned a trick from my grandmother in Jamaica. Make your dough and filling before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning assemble everything together.

Like yourself I get excited and want to eat them right away but I noticed the difference when I rush the crust. I still am trying to perfect the crust. Not the flavor but the texture of the crust. I still can't get them as a flaky as my grandmother. :-(

[mummy20091]

Great work and very simple..I will definitely give it a trial.

[rustlecompton]

@mummy20091 Great thanks for watching! Have fun making them! :)

[queenieepstein]

yuk

[candyflipdhippy]

i always thought it was a corn flour for the dough and thats why it was yellow lol ME LEARNZ STUFF!!!!

[nessclick]

u so sexyyy

[manasin1234567890]

if any of u are in palm bay florida i visted they have a jamaican place and they got good jamaican meat pies or if u want to call them jamaican meat patties

[rustlecompton]

@manasin1234567890 Hey thanks for the info. But we're stuck in Toronto for now, until we get to go somewhere nice and warm :(

[doubledutchbus]

@rustlecompton I'm also from Toronto, also known as the Canadian/American capital of beef patties. Great video!

[rustlecompton]

@doubledutchbus Ya no kidding they're everywhere! There's this really awesome place at Bloor and Lansdowne that makes amazing ones. Thanks for watching! :)

[doubledutchbus]

@rustlecompton No, Thank you! I'll have to try it. There's a corner store at Bloor and Ossington called "lazer" I believe. They make curry goat beef patties. So good especially with cocoa bread.

Question though. Did you give the patties an egg-wash on both sides when cooking?

[rustlecompton]

@doubledutchbus Hey cool I'll have to check that place out! For the egg wash I just put it on one side. I'm sure you could try both sides, I just did it on one side because I didn't flip them through the baking process. Try it out, they're so good! :)

[supercooled]

@rustlecompton What's the place called? I don't like the flakey variety they sell at No Frills by the Jaimacan Patty King brand. There is one that's called Halal or something at Sobeys/Price Choppers that have a really nice and firm pastry but yours is really more economical.

Is the curry powder in the pastry mix necessary? I also thought they use eggs in the pastry mix.

[rustlecompton]

@supercooled Hey thanks for watching. Hmm the place in Toronto, not sure, but I should be bikinghome past there so I'll let you know. Ya I prefer to make pastry instead of buying, mainly because it is less money. The curry powder give it a flavour that you need to the patties, otherwise it's just like making english dumplings or something. And for some pastry they use eggs to bring everything together, but this recipe just uses fat and water, much easier to deal with.

[wafflegal]

is it possible to use whole all purpose flour (pillsberry brand) and still get decent beef patties? I tried to make seitan with it (wheat gluten that tastes and feels like meat), but when I boiled the pieces it tasted kinda grainy. I don't know how to describe it, but when I ate it I could tellt that it was from flour. maybe it's the whole wheat taste

[mikesewell2008]

try a bit of turmic in the pastry instead of the curry powder it adds the taste i usally put the curry powder in with the beef i mean everyone to there own its just a suggestion! great vid!

[rustlecompton]

@mikesewell2008 Hey thanks for the advice. Yes indeed that would be nice to add the tumeric. I did another vid with the filling, and ya the curry powder is a must for me with the beef. Thanks for watching, and the feedback is great, thank you! :)

[LongJonhs]

I love them tings, Mon!

[prettyndahood]

i made this it came out badly..my crustwas to crumbly...like popeyes biscuits..did i use to much shortening?

[rustlecompton]

Hey thanks for trying this out! I think maybe you should try a little more shortening, and also maybe knead it a little longer. It took quite a few times for me to get the pastry right, it's the hardest part by far. Keep trying, they'll turn out! :)

[JamaicanGal32]

so yummmyyyyyyyyyyy!

[rustlecompton]

Awesome! So glad you tried the recipe!

[TheHacker1456]

lol i was just kidding....they tasted good! but mine turned out to be a little burnt :X

[rustlecompton]

Ohhh you're mean! I'm sorry they turned out burnt, you gotta keep an eye on them! Glad you tried the recipe though :)

[TheHacker1456]

Terrible guide..they tasted horrible

[rustlecompton]

Thanks for the contructive criticism!

[crime810]

THANX 4 RECEIP..

Well the crust is always the hardest,nomally in the uk there soft and yellow...hope there gonna come out like that,,,,,what do i use 4 the yellow part...

[jihoon0525]

Hey, so i just made this right now and had some issues with the pastry being too dry. Any suggestions?

[rustlecompton]

Hey, glad you tried them! Yes the pastry is always the hardest part, try adding more fat, not so much butter but other suet if you can, maybe try cooking them a little bit less so the pastry doesn't dry out. Let me know how that works for you, I know the most problems I had with making these was the pastry, it's all just through trial and error. :)

[800Snowflake008]

ive always wondered why they are yellow

[nav19891989]

..you aint jamaican,mon

[MamaCalah]

can you maje bulla cakes. ?? or have a recipe for them.??

[rustlecompton]

@MamaCalah Hey thanks for watching. No I don't have a recipe for those, but you should just google it, I'm sure someone has posted a recipe for that. Good lukc searching!

[NickNolans]

I love Jamaican patties, I hope to make some one day! :D

[babyjane48]

thank you for your video!!

i made this recipe last night and my boyfriend and i loved it!! they came out so good. my biggest fear was the crust, which came out nice, flaky, and puffed up a bit. just have to work on rolling dough *lol.

[rustlecompton]

You're so welcome, I'm glad you liked it. ya the first few times I made them the pastry was garbage, but it comes along I promise! It goes well with the spicy mango scotch bonnet sauce, you should check it out too! Thanks for watching!

[MeWantFoodNow]

i like patty she's a nice lady

[okudaisi]

thanks for this recipe i have been searching the internet for one!

[okudaisi]

and i did mini patties and they turned out really crispy

[dariflo]

There is something very important you did not add in the mixing (shortening) you can't make pastry without shortening.I am a professional cook and I know that you can't make pastries without it.

Your receipt just miss that.

[rome71rome]

i miss staying in miami had so many carribean restaurants to choose from.

[chloemargarita]

Whenever I'd visit my dad in Miami, he'd always take me to get Jamaican patties. I LOVED them!

Now I'm a vegetarian, and I'm really interested in adapting a meatless version of this recipe.

[empressm6]

Most shops do make veggie patties

[rustlecompton]

Ya I've gotta try that next!

[princess29coolio]

thanx for that really helped

[keepcumming]

u can substitute it with lentil peas or even granburger it taste really good

[liltrina4]

@chloemargarita there is a pattie place the sells really good veggie patties in miami.... its on miami garden and 441 its called taste rite.

[rustlecompton]

@liltrina4 hey thanks for watching. Cool is that where you're from, Miami? I live in Toronto and there's this awesome place at Bloor and Lansdowne, she makes the best patties, I'm still stying to replicate them! Maybe I'll try to make veggie patties next time. :)

[VirusInferno]

WTF guys she's not showing us the recipe because she looks gorgeous.. she wants to share her recipe because it's GENUINELY great tasting and she's got skill for doing so. Besides she already knows she's hot.. be fresh guys.

[NYbeerdude]

sooo bad for you but sooo good!!!

[lukevash]

and yes you are lovely

[lukevash]

yay i cant wait

[yung6119]

rustlecompton your hot

[Supermanluvr69]

Daaamn this Chick is HOTT! Thanks for the Video posts Sexy... ;)

[dwaynepeterzen]

That's it..I'm going to give this a try..

[rustlecompton]

ya the video recorder crapped out on me, i guess i'll have to do it again. maybe you can show me how you make them better? any suggestions?

[bombaykitty07]

where's the beef?

[tereete]

lol add more curry power and a little more salt and use thyme in the paty itself used whipped butter too

[funkg]

too much hard work for me,

good to know how to make it

[rustlecompton]

It's not that hard you should give it a try, the reward is soooo yummy!

[konaryders]

insted of mixing the butter in with your hands, stick the butter in the freezer for about an hour, then when you need it grate (with a cheese grater) the butter into the flour. Perfect pastry every time :)

[OtakuPanda]

AHHH, I want one so badly.....

[rustlecompton]

Hey all, make sure you use either room temp butter, or cold, don't use melted. I did this the other day, and the pastry was not very good, it became really stiff and hard. So, make sure you use the right temp butter, it makes a big difference. :)

[theonetheonlyJr]

I hear there are people that use suet..everytime I make the patty...it comes out too tough...and the dough has NO flavor....what should I do?

[theonetheonlyJr]

the crust has no flavor when I do it....I followed this..but is there anyway to make it flakier..

[rustlecompton]

i think that for the flavor you may just need some more salt into the mix. and for flakiness you should try more cold butter or suet as you recommended before, that should make things nice and flaky! let me know how it goes! :)

[theonetheonlyJr]

I keep trying it...and it comes out hard.....the crust is not good...when I make it...but do u think a good phylo dough would work well with the beef....

[rustlecompton]

i think the other pastry would work, but then again it wouldn't be a beef patty with another pastry. try again, more butter, or cook it for less time, too much moisture is getting lost, that might help.

[FatNick36]

ummm....i love you for putting this video up

[rustlecompton]

Awesome can't wait to see the next part
