Ingredients
Sourdough Pop Tart Dough
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 cup Cold Butter Grated
- 1 cup Sourdough Discard
- 2 tbsp Cold Water Optional
Lemon Glaze
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- ½ Lemon Zested
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
Filling
- ½ cup Blueberry Jam
Instructions
Make Dough
- Into mixing bowl, add 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 tbsp of sugar, and whisk together.
- To the mixing bowl, grate butter on top of flour mixture. Mix together, until the butter is evenly combined. Should be a crumbly mixture.
- Next add sourdough discard.
- Mix everything together until a dough starts to form. If the dough seems particularly dry, you can add 1-2 tbsp of very cold water.
- When dough comes together, continue to knead until the dough is smoother and well combined.
- Cover dough and allow it to rest on the counter for 1 hour, and then move into the refrigerator until the dough is chilled. Usually about 30 minutes. (This makes it easier to roll out)
Assembling Pop Tarts
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- Once dough is lightly chilled, bring dough out onto floured surface and divide it in half.
- Roll out each half separately, until they are about 1/4' thick.
- Cut off uneven edges and divide dough into equal squares or rectangles. I typically do about 8 - 10 depending on the size.
- Place a small dollop (about 1 tbsp) of blueberry jam into the centre of half of the cut out squares. The other half without the jam, will be the tops.
- Beat one egg in small bowl, and brush the edges of each dough cut out.
- Place the tops on top of the cut outs that have the blueberry jam, and seal edges with a fork.
- Move pop tarts onto baking sheet.
- Bake pop tarts for about 20-25 minutes, until they start to golden.
- Bring pop tarts out and allow them to cool.
Making Glaze
- While pop tarts are cooling, add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, zest of a half lemon, and 2 tsp of lemon juice to a bowl & mix. If you need more liquid you can add either milk or more lemon juice.
- Once pop tarts have cooled off, drizzle lemon glaze over with a spoon & enjoy!
