Crust Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the organic all-purpose flour, baking powder, curry powder, turmeric, and dried herbs until combined.
- Incorporate the cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold almond milk, just until the dough comes together, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to solidify.
Filling Preparation
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, garlic, and minced ginger, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Briefly burn the curry powder in the oil, then stir in the shredded chicken, scotch bonnet pepper, coconut milk, and chicken stock, simmering until the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
- Allow it to cool completely.
Assembling Patties
- After chilling the dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick, then incorporate the remaining grated butter by folding and rolling it in.
- Using a round cutter, cut the dough into circles. On one half of each circle, place a generous spoonful of the cooled filling, fold the dough over, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal tightly.
Baking Patties
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the assembled patties on the sheet, and brush the tops with an egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake the patties for 20-25 minutes or until they're beautifully golden brown and flaky.
- Let them cool on a wire rack before serving to achieve the perfect texture.

Notes
Ensure the butter remains cold during the entire process for flaky texture. Adjust the scotch bonnet pepper level based on desired heat.
