Haitian Patties are one of Haiti's greatest street foods. The dough is flaky and buttery as it's made from a dough that's similar to puff pastry. The filling can range from chicken, fish, and pork. However, we settled on a delicious beef filling flavored with fresh thyme, garlic, onions, green onions, salt, pepper, and scotch bonnet peppers. These Haitian patties are light, flaky, perfectly golden, and flavorful. They're the perfect food to brighten up your day. Wash down with a refreshing cold glass of Caribbean Fruit Punch.

Time & Serves
Ingredients
2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 cup Water
1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 medium White Onion, diced
1 medium Red Bell Pepper, diced
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
3 medium Green Onions, minced
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 Scotch Bonnet Pepper, minced
1/2 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1 pound Ground Beef
1/4 cup Water
1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
1 large Egg
2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Whisk the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl. Add the water to the gluten-free flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Dust your countertop with flour and place the dough onto the floured surface. Knead the patty dough until it is firm but slightly sticky.
Shape it into a ball, wrapping the patty dough with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Dust your countertop with more flour, then roll the patty dough out using a rolling pin into a rectangle that is 1/8-inch thick.
Spread the softened butter over the patty dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
Bring one side of the patty dough to the middle, then pull the free edge over the dough to fold it like a letter.
Repeat steps 5 and 6. Wrap the patty dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.
To a large skillet, add olive oil, and set it over medium-high heat. Next, add the onions and red bell peppers and cook them for 4 minutes until they soften.
Add the garlic, green onions, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, paprika, scotch bonnet pepper, and thyme, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces using your cooking spoon.
Add the water and tomato paste, and cook it for 3–5 minutes until the beef is tender and the water evaporates. Remove the meat filling from the heat, setting it aside until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Remove the dough from the fridge, roll the patty dough out into a rectangle that is 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the patty dough in half lengthwise.
Next, cut the dough in half widthwise.
Next, cut each section of dough into 3, creating 12 even rectangles.
Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the beef filling into the center of the patty dough.
Whisk the eggs and water together in a bowl before brushing the edges and folding the dough over the filling.
Use a fork to press and seal the patty edges closed.
Next, repeat steps 4 and 5 until there are 12 Haitian patties. Place the patties onto a floured board or tray placing them into the fridge to firm up for 30 minutes.
Place the Haitian patties onto one or two foil or parchment-lined baking sheets, and brush the Haitian patties with the egg mixture.
Bake the patties for 15–20 minutes until golden brown, then let the Haitian patties cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
