Berry Basket



Homemade Strawberry Pop-Tarts

2 cups and 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, diced
4 tablespoons cold water
Strawberry jam
Powdered sugar (optional)

Combine flour, salt and sugar in bowl; blend well. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until you have bits the size of peas. Add water and mix until dough forms a ball. Split dough into two balls, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Roll first ball on a lightly-floured surface until it is about a 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough into 3x4” rectangles. Repeat with second ball of dough. Line two baking sheets with parchment and arrange half the rectangles on them about an inch apart. Spread jam in center or each; then top with second rectangle. Seal around edges by pressing with a fork. Prick each pop tart with a fork. Freeze until ready to use. Bake at 350F 25 to 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.
