One day, I had a hankering for Jamaican beef patties. Then, I remembered, that some years back, a Jamaican friend of mine gave me her family’s recipe. So, I searched my recipe box to find it. I was thrilled that I found the recipe titled “Nanny’s Beef Patty.” The instructions were in two parts: 1 part beef filling and 1 part dough. I made a few adjustments to satisfy my taste buds. If you make this recipe correctly, you will never look at a store bought beef patty with the same affection. IRIE!!!!
