Frosted Strawberry Pop Tarts
Need It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Mother's Day. Head to the store and pick up butter, flour, granulated sugar, and a few other things to make it today. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Instructions
Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until combined.
Add the butter and toss with your fingers until well coated in the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut or rub the butter into the dry ingredients until reduced to pea-size pieces.
Whisk the egg yolks and milk in a small bowl until combined.
Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll 1 dough portion out into a rough 12-by-10-inch rectangle, rotating the dough and reflouring the surface and rolling pin often to prevent the dough from sticking. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, trim the dough to a 10-1/2-by-9-inch rectangle.
Cut that into 6 equal rectangles (each about 3 1/2 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches tall). Using a flat spatula, transfer the rectangles to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
Roll out the second dough portion to the same dimensions as the first, trim, and cut into 6 rectangles. Using a fork, prick the dough all over.
Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and brush a thin coating of the egg wash over each dough rectangle. Spoon 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the jam onto each rectangle.
Spread the jam into an even layer, leaving a 3/4-inch border.
Place the pricked rectangles on top of the jam-covered rectangles. Press on the edges to adhere, and push down gently on the filling to slightly flatten. Using a fork dipped in flour, crimp the edges of the tarts.
Bake until golden brown, about 23 to 25 minutes.
Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until evenly combined. (You may need to add more milk by the 1/2 teaspoon if the glaze is too thick.)Set the wire rack with the tarts on it over a baking sheet. Using a spoon, drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the glaze over each tart.
Let set before eating, about 15 minutes.
