Growing up, I couldn't resist opening the shiny foil wrapping on the package of strawberry Pop-Tarts my mom kept in the pantry. Once I got that thing open, I'd sometimes toast them, but most times I'd just eat them straight out of the packaging. Now, when my children see that same foil wrapping, their mouths start to water too. I guess they acquired the Pop-Tart gene. So, when I came across this idea in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine, I knew I had to try it. They were so simple to make and delicious as well, receiving two thumbs up from both of my kids.
Homemade Toaster Pastry Ingredients:
2 packages of refrigerated pie crust
10 tbsp of jam/preserves of your choice
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp milk (more or less to achieve desired consistency)
food coloring
Yields: (10) 3x3 in. toaster pastries
 |
| Start with prepackaged, refrigerated pie crust (I used Pillsbury). Cut the crust into 3x3 in. squares. Spread about 1 tbsp of your favorite jam or preserves on the bottom of one of the squares (I used Smucker's strawberry preserves). |
Use the tip of a fork to poke holes into a second 3x3 in. square to allow for steam release. Place poked pie crust on top of the jam spread crust.
Crimp edges together with the fork tines to seal.
Bake in a preheated oven set at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes or cool enough to touch.
Spread homemade frosting (powdered sugar, milk and food coloring of your choice) on top of the cooled pastry. Immediately place sprinkles on each frosted pastry to allow the sprinkles to set into the frosting.
Cool completely and enjoy!
