Pop Tart

Ingredients

Pie dough (can buy prepared, but suggest you make your own)

Cherry Jam (or whatever jam you like)

1 teaspoon egg mixed with 1 of water, mixed well

1 tablespoon of granulated sugar

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat

Floor your board very well. Roll your pie dough out to to 12X8. Using a floured knife, cut the dough into mini-rectangles that are about 3X4 inches. You should have 8 mini-rectangles – enough to make a total of 4 pop tarts.

Place about 2 tablespoons of jam in the middle of 4 of the mini-rectangles.

Then, place the jam-less rectangles on top of the jam-filled rectangles

Press the edges of the tarts with a floured fork to seal the edges.

Poke a couple of small holes on top of the tarts with your fork to allow steam to escape.

Lightly brush the tops of the tarts with the egg wash.

Then sprinkle each tart with sugar.

Place in oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tarts are brown along the edges and the jam has oozed out a bit!

Cool for about 5 minutes and then eat with tea!

About

In the whirlwind of excitement, I decided to make some homemade pop-tarts. Random, I know. I took the scraps I had left from the dough I used to make the French Apple Tart. While it certainly isn’t the most gorgeous looking pop-tart on the planet, it was a quick and delicious way to make use of scraps. I used cherry jam, but please feel free to use whatever suits your fancy.
