Smart, means asking questions.
When you don't know you ask and then,only then, can you can explain to others.
Not before!
The worst ever recipe.
Who ever heard of a recipe without measures? It could have been for 10 pates or 25 pates but at least for a certain amount.
Using a certain amount of flour like 2 pounds or 2 cups.
Imagine that I personally never made a pate in my life how can I guess the needed quantity of butter vs flour.
This recipe is really Haitian...
au petit Bonheur la chance.
Do it, if it's good your lucky if not try again.
People who have nothing to do should just abstain from jamming the NET.

the recipe you provided is too simple.
The dough needs to be made hours if not days ahead of time.
the mantega is a spread but the dough needs to be knead and layers several time to get a fluffy flaky crust, otherwise it will be hard

What is mantega? I am haitian and I have never heard of this.
But I learned about adding boiled cod fish, chopped boiled eggs and a piclies which is a pepper mixture which gives the pate an incredible flavor.
This is a good alternative if you're tired of the regular beef or chicken and want to try something different.

Thanks so much for sharing the Haitian Pate recipe...
I live in the mid-west,so it's not easy to get pate.I'd have to drive to New york or Chicago to find pate.
I love Chicken or beef Pate,would you be willing to share your recipe for the chicken filling as well??I would be most grateful.

OK, I actually made this recently and it was deliciously awesome!!!
You need a dry, stiff dough not a soft one, so for every 2 cups of flour only add 1/2 c. water, and let it rest so the water can be absorbed.
One stick of butter (1/2 c.) for 2 cups of flour IS SUFFICIENT!!! My mother in law likes to use 1 full cup, but really you get a flaky delicious crust even with half the fat. Our people have enough problems with heart disease and diabetes! Enjoy your pate with a little less stress.
And if you're using salted butter/margarine, you can use 1/2 tsp. salt.
2 cups all-pupose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup butter/margarine/shortening

oops!!! I meant 1 cup of butter, two sticks.
you spread 1/2 stick on your dough fold the dough, then add the rest of the stick.
when you re-roll your dough, you do the same thing again with the second stick.
got corrected by my belle-mere!
