How to make it
- To make the pastry, sift the dry ingredients together. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients using either a pastry cutter or a couple of forks until it is the consistency of cornmeal. Add just enough water to hold the dough together, being careful not to overwork or the crust will be tough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while making the filling.
- Brown the pork and beef in a skillet, draining off any excess fat. Add the habaneros, onion, green onions, bell pepper, garlic, ginger, thyme, spices and soy sauce. Cook until the onions are soft. Add the broth, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Add the bread crumbs, combine thoroughly and allow to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Divide the dough into 24 euqal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into 6-inch circles and place 2-3 heaping tbs of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold the dough over to form a crescent. Crimp the edges with a fork.
- Place on an ungreased baking sheet and brush the tops of each one with the egg. Bake for 25 minutes to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
