And oh MY are they GOOD!!!
So, first gather your ingredients. This recipe didn’t make very many so I ended up doubling the recipe. This COULD have been because the kids lost my rolling pin and I didn’t realize that until I started making them.. so I had to MUSH the dough with my hands.. which led to it being quite a bit thicker than otherwise I’m guessing.
Recipe
For Pie Crust
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tbsp. cold water
For Filling
Jam (your choice) (I ended up using just the strawberry and it’s yummy)
For Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
milk to thin
Sprinkles
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add shortening and butter and blend with a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands. Blend until mixture is fairly coarse. Add water, 1 tbsp. at a time, gently mixing dough after each addiction until dough forms a ball.
2. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a square/rectangle. To about 1/8 thickness. Cut out long strips about 2 inches wide and 3 inches long. Repeat until dough runs out.
3. Take one pie crust rectangle and lace 1 tsp. of jam on top. Cover with another piece of pie crust and crimp all four edges. Repeat with the rest of dough. Place Pop-tarts on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake for 7-8 minutes. (mine took much longer to cook.. I just kept resetting the timer and checking them until they started to lightly brown)
4. While pop-tarts are baking, make glaze. Place powdered sugar in a bowl. Pour milk slowing until it has a consistancy of really thick syrup. 1/2 a tbsp. to 1 tbsp. might be enough.
5. Once pop-tarts are done and cooled, top with glaze. Sprinkle and decorate with colorful sprinkle
and enjoy! Yum!
