Description
Enjoy a homemade version of classic blueberry pop tarts with a sweet icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- ½ cup ice water
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Divide dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out one disc of dough into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 8 equal rectangles.
- Place a spoonful of cooled blueberry filling onto half of the rectangles, leaving a border.
- Top with the remaining rectangles. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Repeat with the second disc of dough.
- Place pop tarts on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While pop tarts cool, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing.
- Once cooled, drizzle the icing over the pop tarts. Let the icing set before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is very cold for flaky pastry.
- Do not overfill the pop tarts to prevent leakage.
- Allow the blueberry filling to cool completely before using.
- You can substitute other berries or fillings.
