My kids love Pop Tarts, but I just can’t bring myself to buy them too often. They are vacation food at our house. But
Recipe: Homemade Pop Tarts
Ingredients
Pie Crust 1-1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons cold water
Glaze: 1 cup powder sugar with milk to thin
Filling of your choice (jams, preserves, Nutella, etc)
Sparkling Sugar
Instructions
For dough, combine flour and salt in bowl.
Add shortening or butter and blend with fork, pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture is fairly coarse.
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, gently mixing dough after each addition until dough forms a ball. (Dough can also be prepared in food processor. Use the pulse button just until it starts to pull away from the sides. Be very careful not to overwork the dough.)
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a square/rectangle.
Cut out long strips about 2 inches wide, and 3 inches long. Repeat till you run out of dough.
Place powdered sugar in bowl. Pour milk slowly until it has a consistency of really thick syrup.
Assemble: Take one pie crust rectangle, fill with a tsp of jam. Cover with another piece of pie crust.
Crimp all four edges. Repeat until you run out of pie crust.
Bake at 450F for abou7-8 minutes or until slightly brown.
Set aside to cool. Once cooled, pour glaze on to Pop tart and decorate with sparkling sugar.

when I found this recipe, I just knew I had to try them. My kids thought I was queen of the kitchen! Of note, I didn’t actually make the pie crust, I used a frozen one (Marie Callendar) and they were very tasty!![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=6550ddc5-93b6-4980-b4d6-6cf33f62580f)
