Directions

1Pulse together flour, salt, sugar, and butter a few times, until the butter pieces are about the size of peas.
2Stream in the water, pulsing as you go.
3Move the dough to a bowl or lightly floured surface and gently knead into a ball – be careful not to overwork the dough.
4Wrap in plastic wrap and shape it into a rectangle that's about ½" thick.
5Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
6Blend your strawberries, honey, and lemon and strain through a fine mesh sieve directly into a saucepan to remove the seeds.
7Cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, until the strawberry mixture is reduced to the point where you can scrape the bottom of the pan and the jam takes a little while to run back together again.
8Move to a bowl to cool.
9Preheat oven to 300˚F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
10Divide your dough in half and roll into a roughly 14 x 14" square on a floured surface.
11Cut the dough into roughly 3.5 x 4.75" rectangles.
12Combine your scrap dough and roll out again to minimize waste.
13Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into each pop tart, then spread into a thin layer, leaving about ⅓" around the border.
14Beat an egg yolk and brush around the border of the jam.
15Dock the tops of your pop tarts with a skewer or a fork, then place over the bottom, and press down and then crimp the sides.
16Bake for 30-35 minutes.
17They should be very lightly browned when you take them out, and the bottoms browned slightly.
18Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until a thick glaze forms.
19Let pop tarts cool, then spread ~1 tablespoon glaze on each pop tart and top with sprinkles.

Tips

You can sub an alternative sugar for the crust like stevia or coconut sugar.
The icing is totally optional is you want to cut back on sugar content and these are just as delicious without it.
We didn’t test these with GF flour, but it should work fine, the texture may just be a little less flaky.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can cut in the butter with your hands or a pastry cutter.
