  • 3 Tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup ice cold water
  • 1 large egg beaten for brushing dough

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk

Instructions

Dough

  • Make Dough - In a food processor, combine flour, butter, sugar and salt.
  • Pulse in the ice cold water until the dough forms a ball. You may not need all the water.
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate to chill for at least an hour. Overnight is totally fine.

Filling

  • For filling, add brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and flour and combine well.

Assembly

  • Roll out dough to around 1/8-1/4 inch thick and cut same sized rectangles out of dough. (you can re-roll the excess to make extra pastries!).
  • Brush egg wash onto the tops of all the rectangles.
  • Spoon pastry filling onto half the rectangles, leaving at least a half-inch margin.
  • Put a rectangle over the top of the filled rectangles and pinch edges with a fork. Poke a few holes on top for venting.
  • Put pastry on lined baking sheet and bake at 375* for 15 minutes or lightly golden.
  • While pop tarts are baking, mix icing ingredients and add more milk if icing is too thick. Pour onto slightly cooled pastries and serve immediately.
