POP GOES THE TART
Flaky homemade dough and store-bought jam combine forces in my copycat pop tart recipe. When I was a kid, I had an affinity for prepackaged pastries filled with fruity goodness and designed to slide down the gullet of a toaster. A few years ago, while feeling nostalgic, I picked some up at the local megamart and realized they tasted...horrible. Clearly, my tastes had changed. Instead of giving up on the breakfast treat I once so enjoyed, I decided to make them myself. After much trial and error, here's the result - and a fine result it is. Both U.S. standard and metric measurements are listed, but for consistent results, go metric.This recipe first appeared in I'm Just Here For More Food.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and vegetable shortening on medium speed until light. Reduce speed to low and add the eggs 1 at a time. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour in three installments, alternating with three installments of the milk. Add the vanilla during the last milk installment.
- Form the dough into a log and place widthwise onto a 13-by-17-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper, and fold the paper over the dough. Using a half-sheet pan as a wedge, roll the dough into a log. This procedure tightens the log into a clean cylinder. Remove the waxed paper and slice dough into 16 (2-inch) rounds. Place on the half-sheet pan, cover, and chill for 1 hour.
- Set two racks in the middle third of the oven and heat to 350ºF.
- After the dough has chilled, roll each round outThink of this as more of a cookie dough - don't worry about working it too much. to a 5- to 6-inch circle between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper. Fold over the edges of each round to create a rectangle. Roll out each rectangle to abut 1/4-inch thickness.
- Match the 16 rectangles into 8 matching pairs. Brush one rectangle with the egg wash and top with 1 tablespoon of the jam, fruit butter, or preserves, spreading into an even layer about 1/2 inch from the edge. Top with another pastry rectangle. Use a fork to seal the tart by crimping the edge. Gently prick the top of the tart with the fork. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Bake for 25 minutes on a parchment paper-lined half-sheet pan until the edges just begin to brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Enjoy warm, or cool thoroughly before storing in a zip-top bag for up to 1 week. Leftovers can be reheated in your friendly neighborhood toaster.
- If you want to frost your tarts, slowly whisk the confectioners' sugar and whole milk together in a small bowl. Paint the mixture onto the cooled tarts. Allow to dry before stacking, storing, and snarfing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt together into a bowl. Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles small peas. Add vanilla. Mix in cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together and forms a ball.
- Divide dough into 2 pieces and wrap with plastic wrap; chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Beat softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make filling.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into rectangles with a knife. Drop 1 tablespoon of filling onto half of the rectangles. Cover with remaining rectangles. Press edges with a fork to seal. Poke a few holes in the top of each pastry with a toothpick.
- Arrange pastries on the lined baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pastries on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Filling: Add all your ingredients, except the butter, into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir until boiling, Boil for about 5 minutes, or until your mixture thickens. Chill your filling in the fridge until it is completely cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Crust: Mix together your salt and flour in a bowl. Cut in your butter and mix together by hand or with a pastry cutter, or in the bowl of your electric mixer. Mix until you have a crumbly mixture with pea-sized chunks. Do not overmix. Add in your water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until you have a soft dough.
- Flour your work surface and roll the dough out thinly. Cut the dough into rectangles, about 2 by 4 inches each. Place 4 of your rectangles on a baking sheet. Leaving the others set aside.
- Spread about 1 tbsp filling on each rectangle. Place ½ tsp of butter over your filling and place a rectangle you have set aside directly over it and flatten the edges together with a fork. Do this with remaining rectangles.
- Brush a thin layer of milk over each pop tart. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is flaky and lightly browned.
- Let cool on cooling racks. After they have cooled, brush icing over top and decorate as desired. Serve.

Steps:
- Make the dough:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Work in the butter until the mixture holds together when you squeeze it, with pecan-sized lumps of butter still visible.
- Mix the egg and milk, and add it to the dough, mixing just until everything is mixed.
- Divide the dough in half; each half will weigh about 10 ounces.
- Shape each half into a rough 3" x 5" rectangle, smoothing the edges.
- Roll out immediately; or wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Make the filling:
- Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and flour.
- Assemble the tarts:
- If the dough has been chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to soften and become workable, about 15 to 30 minutes.
- Place one piece on a lightly floured work surface, and roll it into a rectangle about 1/8" thick, large enough that you can trim it to an even 9" x 12".
- (Laying a 9" x 13" pan atop the dough will give you an idea if you've rolled it large enough.).
- Trim off the edges; place the scraps on a baking sheet, and set them aside, along with the 9" x 12" rectangle of dough.
- Roll the second piece of dough just as you did the first.
- Press the edge of a ruler into the dough you've just rolled, to gently score it in thirds lengthwise and widthwise; you'll see nine 3" x 4" rectangles.
- Beat the egg, and brush it over the entire surface of the dough.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of each marked rectangle.
- Place the second sheet of dough atop the first, using your fingertips to press firmly around each pocket of jam, sealing the dough well on all sides.
- Press the tines of a fork all around the edge of the rectangle.
- Cut the dough evenly in between the filling mounds to make nine tarts.
- Press the cut edges with your fingers to seal, then press with a fork, to seal again.
- Gently place the tarts on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prick the top of each tart multiple times with a fork; you want to make sure steam can escape, or the tarts will become billowy pillows rather than flat toaster pastries.
- Refrigerate the tarts (they don't need to be covered) for 30 minutes, while you preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Sprinkle the dough trimmings with cinnamon-sugar; these have nothing to do with your toaster pastries, but it's a shame to discard them, and they make a wonderful snack.
- While the tarts are chilling, bake these trimmings for 13 to 15 minutes, till they're golden brown.
- Remove the tarts form the fridge, and bake them for 25 to 35 minutes, until they're a light golden brown.
- Remove them from the oven, and allow them to cool on the pan.
- Variations: Instead of brown sugar and cinnamon, fill the tarts with a tablespoonful of chocolate chips.
- Or with jam filling: 3/4 cup (8 ounces) raspberry jam.
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water.
- To make the filling, mix the jam with the cornstarch/water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and set aside to cool. Use to fill the pastry tarts.
