directions
For the Pop Tart Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix all dry crust ingredients and butter using a pastry cutter until a pea-size crumb consistency has formed.
Add milk and mix until dough forms, kneading slightly and folding the dough as you mix.
Roll out the pastry dough and cut 16–20 rectangles (I got 16).
For the Filling
Mix your filling ingredients, adding about 2 tablespoons to the center of each pop tart.
Top and seal your pop tarts with the edge of a fork.
For the Glaze
Optional egg wash; bake for 15–20 minutes, allowing to cool completely before topping with glaze.
expiry
Store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
