Tarts that popped

Toaster pastry experiment #2, still not what I’m looking for. These turned out like mini fruit pies and not pop tarts. The crust is perfectly flaky and quite tasty, but too flaky and brittle for this purpose. Also, too much dough-to-filling ratio. And the dough puffed too high, much like in the baking of an apple pie.

I used a pate sucre dough recipe and strawberry jam–3″ biscuit cutter-too small.

    Homemade pop tarts! I love it! I am going to have to find the first post about this. Looking forward to the next attempt.

    got here in some roundabout way that involved twitter….

    anyway, this post just made me think of how i always used to wonder how my best friend could eat pop-tarts “raw” - thanks for the memory ;)
