Ingredients
For the Flaky Crust:
- 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon 2.5g salt
- 10 tablespoon 140g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3 tablespoon 45g vegetable shortening, chilled
- 5-7 tablespoon 75-105ml ice water
For the Filling:
- ¾ cup 210g blueberry jam or preserves
- 2 teaspoon 6g tapioca or corn starch
- 2 teaspoon 10ml water
- 1 egg lightly beaten (for egg wash)
For the Creamy Icing:
- 1 cup 120g powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoon 45-60ml heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by combining flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter and shorten until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until the dough holds together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for 15 minutes.
- Make the filling by dissolving starch in water, then mixing it with blueberry jam until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out one dough disc to a 12-inch rectangle. Cut into smaller rectangles (about 3x4.5 inches). Place half the rectangles on the baking sheet.
- Top each rectangle with 1-2 tablespoon of the blueberry filling. Brush edges with egg wash, top with another rectangle, and crimp edges with a fork. Poke holes in the top and brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 19-23 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and blueberry jam until smooth.
- Drizzle or spread icing over cooled pop-tarts. Garnish with crushed freeze-dried blueberries if desired.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try different jam flavors like strawberry or raspberry.
- Leftover pop-tarts can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
- The crust may lose some crispness after the first day, but the flavors will still be delicious.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for the ultimate nostalgic experience.
