Puff Pastry Pop Tart- a Patriotic Toaster Strudel
This patriotic poptart is a fun twist on a classic homemade toaster strudel. You only need a few staple pantry ingredients to get started.
Equipment
- 1 knife
- 1 fork
- 1 baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry- this is in the freezer section. this is in the freezer section. You'll use one sheet to make 3 toaster strudels.
- 3 tablespoon Jam in flavor of choice, I used strawberry since I wanted a patriotic stars and stripes look.
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoon water to mix with powdered sugar to create glaze.
- sprinkles for decorating.
Instructions
- Thaw your pastry puff following the packaging instructions.
- Cut into 6 rectangles and line on your baking sheet.
- Make your egg wash by combining a splash of milk with an egg. Brush or spoon on the egg wash to the tops of 3 of the pastry puff rectangles.
- Using a knife, cut slits into the pastry puff shell that has the egg wash on it. Using a fork, make little indentations for the 'stars'. You'll fill with sprinkles but this gives you an idea of where to place them. You don't have to do this part but I found it helpful.
- Add jam to the bottom layer that does not have the egg wash on it.
- Stack the top of your toaster strudel or poptart onto the bottom piece of pastry puff.
- Next, using a fork, close the toaster strudel but gently pressing down. If its stick add a bit a flour to the fork.
- Then, bake for 18-20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make your icing by combining water and powdered sugar and a bit of vanilla. Drizzle over the top of the toaster strudel along the lines of the flag. Add sprinkles as the stars.
