all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cake flour can be cheaper in some regions.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.

Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add cold water and mix until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.

Add the ground beef, thyme, cumin, and paprika; cook until browned.

Stir in the chopped scotch bonnet pepper and green onions; season with salt and black pepper.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut circles from the dough using a cutter or glass.

Place a spoonful of beef filling on one half of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Arrange patties on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F until golden, about 25 minutes.
