Information:-

According to Wikipedia:-

Pop-Tarts is a brand of rectangular, pre-baked, convenience food toaster pastries that the Kellogg Company introduced in 1964. Somewhat similar to a contemporary English mince pie tart, Pop-Tarts have a sugary filling sealed inside two layers of rectangular, thin pastry crust. Most varieties are also frosted. Although sold pre-cooked, they are designed to be warmed inside a toaster or microwave oven. They are usually sold in pairs inside Mylar (previously foil) packages, and do not require refrigeration.

Recipe:-

Pop-Tarts Pastry:

 Ingredients:

• 375g or 12oz. Plain Flour.
• 200g or 3/4 cup cold and cubed butter.
• 2 tbsp. icing sugar.
• 2 egg yolks.
• 4 tbsp. water
• Pinch of Salt, a generous one.
• Egg wash (egg yolk mixed with water)

How to make:

1.  Put the flour, icing sugar and salt in a bowl.
2. Put the cubed butter and rub it in the mixture until the texture becomes like bread crumbs.
3. This is called the dry mixture.
4. Now, mix egg yolks and water and add to the dry ingredients.
5. Mix it to form a dough.
6. Wrap the dough in a cling wrap (plastic wrap).
7. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
8. At this point, the dough can be frozen for future use.
9. Next, Roll the dough on a floured surface until it becomes 1/4 mm thick.
10. With a knife, cut your pastry in 3 inch x 4 inch rectangles. You can also use a ruler.
11. You will need two rectangles for each pop-tart.
12. Apply the egg wash to the pastry. This will help the pastry to stick together.
13. Prick the top of the pastry. this will help in the release of the steam while baking.
14. Fill your filling until half of the pastry is filled.
15. Trust me, you don't want to overfill it.

17. Mix icing sugar, vanilla extract and water and form a thick paste.
