Jamaican Beef Patties (Dough)

Pulse the flour, turmeric, and salt together in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and butter. Pulse a few times to incorporate.

Stir the water and vinegar together. Gradually add to the dough mixture, pulsing until a dough forms. Divide the dough in two, wrap in plastic and refrigerate while making the filling.

On a floured surface, roll the half of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into large circles, 5-7 inches across. (Use a large cookie cutter, cup, or bowl as a guide.) Add flour to the surface and rolling pin as needed to prevent sticking. Dough may be re-rolled.
