Tool Kit:
- Blueberry Syrup (see my previous post)
- Pie Dough
- The zest and juice of one lemon
- 5 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- A splash of water
Let’s Do This!!
First roll out your choice of pie dough and use a round cookie cutter to cut out perfect circles. Next, Take a spoonful of the blueberry syrup and plop it right in the center of one of the circles and place a second circle on top. Repeat until you’ve got them all filled.
Preheat the oven to 350F. While you wait for your oven to preheat, take a fork and press down around the edges of each circle to close in the filling. Next, create your egg wash by mixing one egg and a splash of water. Take your egg wash and brush it on top of each circle poptart. Now make it your own by creating air vents of your choice. You can poke holes with your fork or get fancy and use a paring knife to create designs.
Place in the oven and start checking on them after 15 minutes. They should be golden brown and crispy.
Let them cool completely.
You can eat them like this if you’d like or if you want to make it more like a true pop tart with icing and all. To make the icing, mix your lemon juice, zest, and powdered sugar. Dip each in the icing and if you want to add some color and extra flavor, mix some powdered sugar and leftover blueberry syrup and drizzle or spoon over them as well.
Now don’t be like me and get them stuck on a plate. Instead, Let them sit on a cookie sheet until the icing hardens.
Enjoy!
