Gather @all-purpose flour{400%g}, @ground beef{350%g} and @sunflower oil{500%ml}.

Make a supple dough from flour, @baking powder{1%tsp}, salt, a spoon of oil and water; rest 30 minutes. ~{30%minutes}

Cook the beef with @onion{1}, @garlic{3%clove}, @tomato paste{1%tbsp} and @scotch bonnet{0.5} until dry and intense.

Roll thin rounds, fill, fold into half-moons, and crimp hard.

Fry at 175°C until blistered deep gold, turning once. ~{8%minutes}

Cool three minutes — molten filling forgives no one — then eat from the paper.
