Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined.
- Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Assembly
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut into rectangular shapes, approximately 3x4 inches, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place a tablespoon of fruit jam in the center of half of the rectangles.
- Brush the edges of the jam-covered rectangles with an egg wash and place another rectangle on top.
- Press the edges with a fork to seal.
Baking
- Make a few slits in the tops of the pop tarts to allow steam to escape.
- Brush with more egg wash.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Icing and Serving
- Once cooled, combine confectioners' sugar with milk to reach the desired icing consistency, and drizzle over the pop tarts.
- Allow the icing to set before indulging in your sweet creations.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster or oven to maintain crispiness.
