Brown Sugar Pop Tarts Made With Freshly Milled Flour
These brown sugar Pop Tarts are made with freshly milled soft white wheat flour and come together in under 30 minutes. A quick, from-scratch treat with a tender homemade crust and cozy cinnamon filling.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2½ cup soft white wheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 tbsp cold butter, cubed
- 6 tbsp cold water
For the Filling
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp fresh milled flour
For the Frosting
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1-2 tbsp heavy whipping cream or milk
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the filling by mixing the sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of flour together in a bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a food processor, add the flour and salt. Pulse briefly to mix.
- Add cold, cubed butter and pulse several times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter throughout.
- Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between, just until the dough begins to come together. It should hold when pinched but not be sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide in half.
- Roll out half of the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle the filling all over the dough and gently press it down into the dough with your fingers.
- Roll out the rest of the dough and very gently place it on top of the brown sugar mixture. Trim the edges with a pizza cutter and then cut into 6-8 pop tarts.
- Gently crimp the edges of the pop tarts using a fork. Fresh milled flour tends to break or crumble more easily than all-purpose so be very gentle.
- Place the pop tarts on a parchment lined pan and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- While the pop tarts bake, make the frosting by whisking all of the ingredients together.
- Allow the pop tarts to cool slightly before frosting.
