Pop-Tarts



Here at my house, we are big time lovers for pop-tarts. We eats pop-tarts like we breath air. Thank god that we have fast metabolisms, for if we didn't, we'd be bigger than an obese elaphant! So very thankful for that.

I came across this recipe for homemade pop-tarts awhile back when I was browsing threw Peabody's recipe index. When I found it, I knew right away that I wanted to make it. But, I'd never gotten to it. It just kind of sat there in my memories. Till now.

It was actually really easy to make, it didn't take much effort. I made it with two different flavors; Strawberry and Blueberry. There were more Strawberry than Blueberry though... I would have make more blueberry pop-tarts rather than strawberry; because I'm a huge fan for blueberries, But, large majority of people in my family don't like blueberries to much and prefer strawberries much more than blueberries.

I thought the blueberry ones were better ;]




Recipe
For Pie Crust

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tbsp. cold water

For Filling

Jam (your choice)

For Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
milk to thin

Sprinkles


1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add shortening and butter and blend with a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands. Blend until mixture is fairly coarse. Add water, 1 tbsp. at a time, gently mixing dough after each addiction until dough forms a ball.

2. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a square/rectangle. To about 1/8 thickness. Cut out long strips about 2 inches wide and 3 inches long. Repeat until dough runs out.

3. Take one pie crust rectangle and lace 1 tsp. of jam on top. Cover with another piece of pie crust and crimp all four edges. Repeat with the rest of dough. Place Pop-tarts on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake for 7-8 minutes.

4. While pop-tarts are baking, make glaze. Place powdered sugar in a bowl. Pour milk slowing until it has a consistancy of really thick syrup. 1/2 a tbsp. to 1 tbsp. might be enough.

5. Once pop-tarts are done and cooled, top with glaze. Sprinkle and decorate with colorful sprinkle

This is such a cute idea! I've never thought of making homemade poptarts.I bet they taste better than the store-bought transfat filled ones. Yours look so cute. I might have to try my hand at this, but maybe with a nutella filling inside and a chocolate topping :)

RecipeGirl said...

WOW, WOW, WOW!! I haven't tried these in years but they were my favorite as a child. I'm so going to make these. The blueberry ones look the best, but the pink sprinkles look cute too! Thanks for bringing this into the forefront. Such a fun post.

Yum!! Your homemade pop tarts look so amazing.

I've never been a fan of pop tarts because they don't taste too good for me from out of those supermarket boxes. But I will definitely give your recipe a try and give pop tarts the second chance they deserve. Haha. :-)

This is brilliant! And so much better for your than the real thing I'm sure.

I've been dying to make these forever! They look great - much better than the packaged kind. I really love your blog, keep it up. :)

Paola Westbeek said...

That's a fantastic recipe! I'm from the US but live in The Netherlands and Pop Tarts are not always easy to come by. Must give these a go!

Syd said...

oooh, I never thought about making these. (duh) Thanks!!

cakewardrobe said...

Not Genisis of a cook.. I think GENIUS.. That was my staple breakfast meal as a kid! And homemade just looks delish!!!

Brilynn said...

I remember seeing these at Peabody's and wanting to make them. I still haven't gotten around to it, but yours look awesome, I definitely want to!

We don't get pop tarts in Australia anymore - it's tragic! Seeing these just make me want to cry - I am such a pop tart fan and I can never eat them again, unless I move overseas.

:(

I'll have to try making them.

Jenn said...

I sooo want to try this with lemon curd!

cakewardrobe said...

Oh my gosh!!! I just made star shaped pop tarts but they weren't too pretty to photograph since the pie crust was so soft it kept cracking and falling apart.. but it was DELICIOUS!!!! I used lingonberry and raspberry jam. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Leigh Anne Wilkes said...

Love your recipe for homemade PopTarts - something I had never thought about trying to make at home! Growing up in the 70's my sister ate a Pop Tart for breakfast every morning - I'll have to send the recipe on to her.

this is the first time i've seen beautiful pop tarts like these!! great idea!!

These are really pretty! I really loved pop tarts when I was little, but my health freak mum wouldn't let me have them very often. I might give this recipe a try!

Peabody said...

So glad that you liked the homemade Pop Tarts. I will have to take your word on the blueberry ones since I am allergic. I made chocolate ganache ones for my hubby and he loved those too.

Gab said...

These are absolutely gorgeous! My daughter's getting a batch of these this weekend! Yum!

Ashley said...

I just came across your blog today and it's wonderful! ADORABLE pop-tarts! I think I might try them with Nutella :)

Anonymous said...

I bet these taste good! Way better than the 'real' ones.

JEP said...

What a grand idea! Like the others' filling possibilities, too! As a grandma, my grandkids would be so impressed if I made these!

Tracy said...

Those are adorable! I might have to do those for Valentines Day.

lew! said...

my girlfriend has fond memories of pop tarts. I might have to make these as a treat for her upcoming b-day!

How thin do you roll the dough?

Also, do you could you partially cook some then re-heat in the toaster over another day? Or maybe freeze some uncooked?

Anonymous said...

This is wonderful, and they look great. Thanks for sharing!

mmmm, brains said...

OMG - these look so GREAT! Thank you for the recipe!

HeatherJ said...

what a great idea to use my leftover pie dough for! I did find that these took longer to cook (but maybe I didn't roll them thin enough). I also used a lemon/confectioner's sugar glaze.

LizNoVeggieGirl said...

ahh, pop-tarts - they're about as iconic in American culture as Twinkies. those homemade ones that you made (gotta love Peabody's fun recipes!!) are so whimsical and vibrant!! awesome!!

Anonymous said...

I can't wait to try these. I would have never in a million years thought of making these myself. Wonderful!

Anonymous said...

I'm going to make these tomorrow. My pug (as well as my husband and I) WILL LOVE THESE!!!

Frank+Chesca said...

oh my! these are gorgeous! thanks for sharing! ^-^

Anon. said...

i just made these but my pastry kept falling apart. i couldnt figure out if i needed more water or more flour. any ideas?

Anonymous said...

I'd like to know how thin to roll the dough and how many this recipe is supposed to yield.

I couldn't find my rolling pin so I did it by hand and with a large jar. They turned out thicker than I'd prefer but look tasty!

They are still cooling but the Nutella version looks like a success.

hey that look so good i bake and my daugter teacher wants me to bake it for there friday party thanks

Elle said...

omg, it was you that made these! I was JUST telling my family this weekend that I'd seen a recipe for homemade pop tarts, but couldn't remember where. And when I clicked back here from your comment on my blog, I saw them in the header! It has to be fate, now I just have to make them. They're gorgeous!

Thanks for your comment on my muffins!

Anonymous said...

Wow these look Fabulous! i never would have thought of it!

Anonymous said...

wonderful. I can't wait to make these myself. But I'm going to try a Cinnamon/Sugar version. I'll let you know how they turn out. Thanks.

Unknown said...

I used Pilsbury pie crust instead and made brown sugar poptarts, s'mores poptarts, berry poptarts, nutella poptarts and peanut butter and jelly pop tarts. Even mini pop tarts! Funnnn!

Anonymous said...

What a cute idea!

Anonymous said...

KOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soo making these, my family can't LIVE without poptarts xD
hey and if the pie crust stuff turns out good enough, I'll add cinnimon sugar to it, and instead of using jelly to fill it ill put in apple slices, cinnimon and butter, and make mccdonalds style apple pies ^^

o and p.s. ur birthday is on the same exact day as my brothers oO hes turning 18!

Nowadays, with the increase of the life condition in Russia this tendency shortened russian women for marriage. The causes which were forcing Russian girls to leave have modified Single russian brides. Currently those of the girls who are going abroad to marry an outlander are looking for stability Free dating sites. This occurs due to of the considerable shift of family perception by Russian men. They no longer want stable families, more and more they like to live in so called de facto marriage, when their relationship is not officially formalized Dating sites reviews. In this way they tend to avoid responsibility. The only problem which is general is the ability to understand cultural specifics of each other.

Pop-Tarts are a brand of flat, rectangular, pre-baked toaster pastries made by the Kellogg Company. bet basketball Pop-Tarts have a sugary filling sealed inside two layers of rectangular, thin pastry crust. Some varieties are frosted. They can be eaten without being warmed, but are often warmed inside a toaster or microwave oven. They are usually sold in pairs inside foil packages, and do not require refrigeration. Popular flavors include chocolate, apple, frosted blueberry, frosted strawberry, frosted brown sugar cinnamon, cherry, and S'mores. Pop-Tarts are Kellogg's most popular brand to date in the United States, with millions of Pop-Tarts sold each year. sportsbook They are distributed mainly in the United States, but also in Canada. They can also be found in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Pop-Tarts were discontinued in Australia in 2005 and are now found only in import stores. Post adapted its process for enclosing food in foil to keep it fresh without spoiling—first used for dog food—to its new toaster-prepared breakfast food. Intended to complement its cold cereals, Post announced its new product in 1963 to the press, giving them the name "Country Squares". Because Post had revealed Country Squares before it was ready, Post's biggest competitor, Kellogg, march madness was able to develop its own version in six months. It's name came from Pop Art, which was prominent at the time. The product, advertised by an animated toaster named Milton, became so popular Kellog could not keep up with demand. Originally not frosted when first introduced in 1964 , it was later proved that frosting could survive the toaster, and the first frosted Pop-Tarts were officially released in 1967. The first Pop-Tarts came out in four different flavors: strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon, and apple currant. Today, there are a wide variety of Pop-Tart flavors, including Chocolate Chip, S'Mores, Raspberry, French Toast and Mint Chocolate Chip.

This looks super fun! Im going to try making the blueberry. I bet you can even make the brown sugar one! I love them all. I bet you can make almost any of them if you have the right ingredients.

My favorite brand is ed hardy wholesale, and I always want this brand of
wholesale handbags. And its T-shirts are very special too. I really hope I can wear its
wholesale t-shirtsto go to school and go shopping with my friends, and it will be awesome. And most of my friends like the Ed Hardy style too.
However, this brand is too expensive for me to buy. An Ed Hardy Nike wholesale cost nearly 250 dollars. It is almost a cost of my living of mouth. I am only an ordinary student who has no trust fund; no job and no income that I can’t afford to pay such high price for its sunglasses wholesaleor wholesale ghd. So, I won’t buy the Ed Hardy brand series at least for now.
