How To Make Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts - BAKE WITH ME

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is plant-based and can reduce saturated fat.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed but may not dissolve as smoothly.

strawberry jam

🥗Healthier: fresh strawberries

💰Cheaper: mixed berry jam

Fresh strawberries add natural sweetness and nutrients.

food coloring

🥗Healthier: natural fruit puree

💰Cheaper: none

Fruit puree adds color and flavor without artificial ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.

Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.

Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut into rectangles, approximately 3x4 inches, and place on a baking sheet.

Spread a layer of strawberry jam on half of the rectangles, leaving a border.

Beat the egg and brush it around the edges of the jam-covered rectangles.

Top with the remaining rectangles and press to seal the edges with a fork.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool on a wire rack.

In a bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and food coloring to make icing.

Drizzle icing over the cooled pop-tarts and add sprinkles.
