A delightful twist on the classic Pop-Tarts, these homemade jam-filled pastry squares are easy to make and perfect for a quick snack or breakfast.
Roll out the pie dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Ensure the dough is evenly rolled out to avoid uneven baking.
Cut the dough into equal-sized rectangles.
Use a ruler or straight edge for precise cuts.
Spread a thin layer of jam on half of the rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
Don't overfill to prevent the jam from leaking out during baking.
Place the remaining rectangles on top of the jam-covered ones and press the edges together.
Use a little water on the edges to help seal the dough.
Crimp the edges with a fork to seal and create a decorative edge.
Ensure the edges are well-sealed to keep the filling inside.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet and bake according to the pie dough package instructions or until golden brown.
Check the pastries halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Mix powdered sugar and milk in a bowl to create a glaze.
Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more sugar or milk as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pastries or serve them plain.
Let the pastries cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
