Ingredients

  

• 2 Cups [220g] All Purpose Flour Any flour mix will work

Instructions

 

• In a large mixing bowl or in your food processor bowl add the flour, baking powder and the salt. Mix well.
• Add the butter and rub through the flour until the flour is crumbly and you can still see the butter chunks.
• Add milk 1 teaspoon full at a time and combine with the crumble mix. DO NOT OVER MIX, work just until the pastry dough come together. You will need about 4-6 teaspoons only. Save the rest of the milk for the glaze.
• Roll the dough between two non stick sheets into a large rectangle. Trim the edges as needed.
• Cut into 12 even sized rectangles.
• Place a teaspoon of Jam in the middle of the rectangles.[For 6 rectangles]
• Close the jam filled rectangle with another and do the same for all the tarts.
• Crimp the edges with a fork, so the Jam doesn't come out while baking.
• Arrange them on a baking tray with about 3 cm space all the sides.
• Brush the tops with milk.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven of 180 degrees Celsius.
  
• While they bake, mix the leftover jam and milk together. You glaze is ready.
• Once the pop tarts come out of the oven, cool for a while and then add the glaze.
  
• Add the sprinkle if using.
• Enjoy.
