homemade poptarts

I've been craving a poptart for a long while now and finally decided to try making them myself. It was pretty easy and quick. They taste really, really good! I had some issues with the dough being sticky, so if you have a pie crust recipe you like, I suggest you use that instead.

Ingredients

For Pie Crust

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons cold water

For Filling

• 1/2 cup jam of your choice

For Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 ounces milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Combine flour and salt in large bowl. Add shortening and butter and blend with a fork. Blend until mixture is fairly coarse.
   
3. Add water, 1 tablespoons at a time, gently mixing dough until dough forms a ball.
4. Place dough on a floured surface and roll into a square/rectangle. Cut out long strips about 2 inches wide. Take 1 strip and place jam on one half and then fold the other half over the jam.
5. Place poptart on a cookie sheet. Take a fork and press it into the dough all along the edges to seal the edges.
6. Bake for 7-8 minutes.
7. While poptarts are baking, make glaze.
8. Once poptarts are sufficiently cool, top with glaze.
