What’s not to love about these Jamaican beef hand pies? The crust is flaky and loaded with buttery goodness. The filling is meaty, full of beef flavors complemented by hot and mouthwatering Jamaican spice. It’s oh so good. Make sure you bake a big batch of these hand pies. For best results, make the crust yourself instead of buying ready-made crust at the store. This beautiful recipe is from April of Whisk It Real Gud.
