Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
- Filling of choice (e.g., 1 cup scrambled eggs, 1 cup cheese, diced ham, or sautéed veggies)
- 1 egg (for wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until dough forms. Avoid overworking.
- Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for optimal flakiness.
- Roll Out and Cut Dough: On a floured surface, roll out chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into rectangles of equal size.
- Add Your Fillings: Place your chosen filling on one half of each rectangle, leaving space around the edges to seal.
- Seal and Egg Wash: Fold the rectangles over, press edges with a fork to seal tightly, and brush tops with beaten egg for shine.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake pop-tarts for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
