  • 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 cup fruit jam or filling of choice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Bring the Dough Together: Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball.
  4. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough in half, shape it into disks, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
  7. Cut into Rectangles: Cut the dough into rectangles, roughly 3×4 inches.
  8. Fill with Jam: Place a tablespoon of jam in the center of half of the rectangles.
  9. Seal the Pastries: Top with the remaining rectangles, sealing the edges with a fork.
  10. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Let Cool: Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack.
  12. Prepare the Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
  13. Drizzle and Decorate: Drizzle the glaze over cooled pop tarts and, if desired, add sprinkles.
