These Homemade Strawberry Pop-Tarts are really tasty and your kids will adore them! I often get my kids together in the kitchen to make batches of these pop-tarts. I make the strawberry filling for these tarts by combining strawberry jam, cornstarch and water.
To make the tarts, start by preparing some dough. Roll into a pastry sheet and divide it into 9 equal pieces. Place some strawberry filling in the center of each piece. Place another piece of dough over the top and brush with beaten egg and milk. Gather any remaining scraps of dough and repeat the process to create more tarts. I was able to make 4 additional pop-tarts with the remaining dough. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and that’s it!
To make Homemade Strawberry Pop-Tarts, you will need the following ingredients:
Mix 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add 8 tablespoons of butter and 6 tablespoons of shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 6 tablespoons of cold water and pulse just until the dough comes together. Do not over process at this stage.
Bring the dough together and cut it in half. Shape each half into a round disc. Wrap the halves tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water and whisk until smooth. Add ¾ cup of strawberry jam and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for about 2 minutes while stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and leave the mixture to cool until ready to use.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one of the dough discs to ⅛-inch thick until you have a rectangle approximately 9 by 12 inches. Cut the rectangle into 9 evenly sized pieces.
Place the 9 pieces of dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with
beaten egg and milk mixture all over the pastry pieces.
Place 1 tablespoon of the strawberry filling in the center of each pastry piece.
Roll out the second disc of pastry and cut out 9 individual pieces. Prick the dough using a fork. Place each piece of dough over the filling and press down the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Repeat until all pockets are formed.
Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the pop tarts with the remaining egg and milk mixture. Place the baking sheet with the pastries in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Bake for 30 minutes until the pop tarts are golden brown.
Serve with a large glass of milk.
