You heard it right... I tried to make homemade poptarts. Jordan.. How'd I do? I thought they were mighty tasty. Here is my recipe but remember play with it. This recipe you can put whatever type of fillings you want. My favorite is the Brown sugar and Cinnamon PopTarts so thats what I did!
Pastry Crust
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 tsbp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 cup unsalted Butter
2 Eggs
2 tsbp Milk
Fillings-
1st- Blueberry Preserve
2nd- Cinnamon/Brown Sugar
some brown sugar
cinnamon
little flour
Mix all the dry ingredients Flour, Sugar, Salt in the KitchenAid.
Worked in butter that has been cubed. Then mix in milk and 1 egg to make into the dough.
Knead together with hand and place to be rolled out on floured counter.
Place the dough in plastic and the fridge for about a hour.
At this time pre-heat oven to 375.
Next, allow the dough to thaw.
Flour counter again and start to roll the dough out. This will be one side and create about 3. Create the top layer duplicating the first piece.
Then add the fillings leaving about a 1/2 in on all sides for the top to be pressed over the bottom. Add the top layer and pinch around all the edges and sides. Cut each poptart to size. Take a spatula to keep the dough from sticking and messing up the shape of the poptart. Be careful because it is very easy to open back up. Take the other egg and make it into a egg wash so that it can be brushed on top of the pastries and cooked to leave a nice light-brown crispy crust. Poke holes in it, Make a design with extra crust, even make a strawberry glaze if you dare.
Cook for 11- 13 minute or until golden brown.
