Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 1 cup fruit jam or filling
Egg Wash and Binding:
- 1 egg
Glaze and Topping:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Dust your work surface with flour and gently roll each thawed puff pastry sheet to ⅛-inch thickness.
- Cut each pastry sheet into precise 4×6-inch rectangular shapes using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Spread exactly 2 tablespoons of fruit jam in the center of one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the pastry over the jam, creating a sealed pocket, and press the edges firmly with a fork to create a decorative crimp.
- Whisk one whole egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create a glossy egg wash.
- Brush the entire surface of each pop tart with the egg wash, ensuring complete coverage for a golden sheen.
- Arrange the pop tarts on the prepared sheet pan, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for exactly 17 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Remove from the oven when the pastries are puffy and deep golden brown.
- Let the pop tarts cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons whole milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing generously over the warm pop tarts, allowing it to create beautiful random patterns.
Notes
- Chill the puff pastry for 15 minutes before rolling to make it easier to handle and prevent sticking.
- Use thick, low-water jam to prevent leakage and ensure a neat, clean seal on your pop tarts.
- Crimp the edges firmly with a fork to create a tight seal and prevent the filling from escaping during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap puff pastry with a gluten-free alternative or use homemade gluten-free pastry dough.
