Strawberry Pop Tarts Revisited
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 2 tablespoons organic sugar
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 stick organic unsalted butter
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or real buttermilk
- approximately 1 cup of strawberry jam (I used Amanda's Preserved Strawberries with Chilies)
- approximately 3 tablespoons of melted butter, for brushing the dough
- organic sugar for sprinkling the dough
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat all ingredients until the dough comes together. Divide dough in half, flatten each ball into a disc, and wrap in plastic or parchment paper. Chill several hours or overnight.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or use a silpat). Flour your surface and roll one disc out into a large rectangle. Trim the edges (reserving the extra dough to roll out again with the next disc) so you have a rectangle that is approximately 9 or 10 inches by 12 inches. Cut the large rectangle into 8 smaller and equal rectangles.
- Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling on each of 4 rectangles. Try not to just plop it right in the center- spread it down the length of each piece of dough (but keep it in the center, so that you can seal up the dough on all sides).
- Lay the other pieces of dough on top of the ones with the filling. Use your finger to press the edges down, then use the tines of a fork to press firmly around all the edges. It's important that the pop tarts are sealed well, so a lot of the jam doesn't come oozing out (a little might, and that's fine). Repeat with the other disc of dough so that you have 8 pop tarts.
- Poke a few holes into each pop tart with a fork or a toothpick and then arrange on your baking sheet. Place the pop tarts in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove from the refrigerator and brush each pop tart with melted butter. Sprinkle each one all over with organic sugar.
- Bake the pop tarts for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Allow the pop tarts to cool on a rack before serving.
