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.

These pop tarts were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe.

The crust on these pop tarts was a bit too dry. I think I would have added a little more butter or oil.

These pop tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sugary filling.

These pop tarts were a huge hit with my family! The filling was perfectly sweet and tart, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
