Ingredients

  • 16 tablespoons salted butter 2 sticks of cold butter
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 1/4 cup cold water plus an extra 1/4 cup if necessary

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Strawberry Jam Filling

  • 8 tablespoons strawberry jam 1 tablespoon per pop tart

Strawberry Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Grate the butter and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the grated butter and mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sourdough discard and cold water.
  • Mix the dough with your hands until it all comes together. (Add up to 1/4 cup extra water if necessary to get the dough together).
  • Divide dough into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out one disk on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Keep the other disk in the fridge until you're ready to roll it out.
  • Cut into 3x5-inch rectangles. Place half the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon of jam to the center of each, allowing about 1/2 inch of space around the sides. Top with remaining rectangles, pressing down around the edges with your fingers and then a fork to seal.
  • Pop the baking sheets in the fridge (or freezer) to chill for 20 minutes. This helps prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Once they're done chilling, whisk the egg and heavy cream together for the egg wash, then brush over the tops of the pop tarts.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely before you top with the glaze.
  • For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, jam, and heavy cream. Spread over cooled pop tarts and decorate with sprinkles.
