Homemade Pop Tarts

There are a lot of foods I miss since becoming allergic to life.  Chocolate bars, granola bars, instant noodles, and overly processed breakfast pastries top the list.  So you can imagine my overexcitement when I started seeing Pop Tart recipes popping up on food blogs lately.  I just had to try making one of my now potentially-fatal childhood favourites.

And holy shit, they are good.  They're just what I remember always wishing Pop Tarts tasted like.  Flakey and sweet, they leave you with that euphoric crack-like feeling that only the most delicious baking can deliver.  

They're also a lot simpler to make than I thought they'd be.  Just roll out some pastry and add some jam!  Next time I'm going to make some chocolate ones.

Pop Tart Recipe:

Pie crust (homemade or bought.  but seriously just make some it's not that hard, but it is that much better)

Jam

Preheat oven to 425*F.

Roll out pie crust and cut into 8cm wide and 16cm long strips.

Place 2 tsp of jam on the centre of the lower half of the pastry strip, and fold over the top half to encase the jam. Press sides closed with a floured fork.

Place on a greased or parchment covered baking sheet and bake at 425*F for 8-10 minutes.

When cool, cover with glaze and sprinkles.

Glaze:

1 cup icing sugar

1-2 tbsp milk (I used cream)

Whisk icing sugar and 1 tbsp of milk in a bowl.  Gradually add more milk until desired consistency (syrup-like).
