Take a ball of dough and
roll it out on a floured board.
Use a Ginger wine bottle filled with water (for weight) and roll the dough into a thin circle. Work quickly so it doesn't get tough.

 Using a bowl or large glass for a template, cut a circle out and dispose of the excess dough. Remember, to be a Miss Sonia's patti, you have to be the biggest, flakiest patti in Negril.

 Fill the circle with the filling of your choice (callaloo, curried lobster / chicken / beef, Italian style veggies 'n cheese) leaving about ½ inch border all the way around. Next take a brush and wet it with water and moisten the border.

 Fold in half, pinch the borders together with a floured fork, flour the whole pattie.

 Gently drop the patties into boiling vegetable oil over a wood fire, cook until a golden color, turning once to cook the other side. Note: only wood fires are used by Miss Sonia.

 Sit back, relax and enjoy, but remember these babies are hot inside! So poke it with your fork first or have another Red Stripe while you let it cool for a bit.
