Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed), preference for fresh 13 ounce Jus Rol brand
- 1/2 cup Strawberry Preserves
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- Optional: 1 tablespoon sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make the Egg Wash by cracking one egg into a bowl and add in 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk or use a fork to combine.
- (1) Open the puff pastry and roll out. Use a pizza cutter to make 4 vertical cuts to create 5 long rectangles of similar size. (2) Add about 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves into the lower center portion of the puff pastry, being careful to leave the surrounding edges free from jam. (3) Brush the edges without jam with the egg wash. (4) Fold the top of the pastry over to cover up the jam and line up with the bottom portion. Press the edges shut with your fingers, then take the prongs of a fork and press around the edges of the pastry to seal it. Place all 5 pastries on the parchment lined cookie sheet, spreading out as much as possible. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- As the Pop Tarts are baking, in a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to combine. Note: If the icing looks too watery, add in a tablespoon at a time of powdered sugar until it's the right consistency. I like it thick.
- Once the Pop Tarts are finished baking, allow them to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- Spoon the icing over the Pop Tarts.
- Add on sprinkles while the icing is still wet. Allow the icing to harden for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Don't overstuff the pastries with Strawberry preserves, or it will leak out.
- After adding the jam, it's really important to seal the pastries shut by first pressing the edges together, then finishing with a fork. This will help the preserves from leaking out.
