Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup vegetable shortening
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup ice water
¾ cup strawberry jam
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons almond milk
1 drop red food coloring, or as needed

Steps:

  • Scoop tablespoons of shortening onto a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and chill for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Crumble shortening into the flour mixture with your fingers until no large clumps remain. Add 1/2 cup ice water to the mixture, a little at a time, until dough reaches a shaggy consistency. Knead on the countertop a couple of times to combine. The dough should appear a little too dry.
  • Place dough back into the bowl or a large container and cover with a lid. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into twelve 4x6-inch rectangles.
  • Place about 1 1/2 tablespoon of strawberry jam in the center of 6 of the rectangles. Brush the edges with water and top with the other dough halves. Seal the edges of each tart with a fork. Trim the edges for neater tarts, if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Combine powdered sugar, almond milk, and food coloring in a bowl for icing. Drizzle icing over the cooled tarts.

I'm allergic to strawberries, so I used a different fruit for the filling. The pop-tarts were still delicious!

These pop-tarts were a great way to use up some leftover fruit. I used a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for the filling.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pop-tarts turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked them.

I thought the filling was a little too runny. I would have preferred a thicker consistency.

Overall, I thought these pop-tarts were a good alternative to the store-bought kind. They were healthier and tasted just as good.

These pop-tarts were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a filling with less sugar.

I wish the recipe had more detailed instructions for making the crust. I had a hard time getting it to roll out without breaking.

These pop-tarts were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and the filling was simple to make.

I've never been a big fan of pop-tarts, but these homemade ones were surprisingly good! The crust was crispy and the filling was flavorful. I especially liked the chocolate chip filling.

These pop-tarts were a hit with my family! The filling was sweet and gooey, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I loved that I could make them at home with ingredients I already had on hand.
