Flaky homemade pastry filled with sweet and tangy blueberry filling, topped with a simple glaze for a nostalgic and delicious treat.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Butter, cold and cubed
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Cold water
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Sugar (for filling)
  • Lemon juice
  • Cornstarch
  • Powdered sugar
  • Milk
  • Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add cold water gradually and mix until a dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a saucepan, cook blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until thickened. Let cool completely.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough and cut into rectangles.
  5. Place a spoonful of blueberry filling onto half of the rectangles.
  6. Top with remaining rectangles and seal the edges using a fork.
  7. Poke small holes in the tops to allow steam to escape.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze.
  11. Drizzle glaze over cooled pop tarts before serving.

Notes

  • Seal edges well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Use cold butter for a flakier pastry texture.
  • Try different fruits like strawberries or raspberries.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in a toaster oven for best texture.
