It takes a little effort, but those that love pop tarts will appreciate the work you put into these homemade delights. My nieces and nephew always insist on me having these on hand when they spend the weekend with me. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup vegetable shortening |
2 eggs |
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 cup blackberry jam |
1 egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon milk |
sugar for sprinkling on top |
Directions:
1. Cream together sugar and shortening beating until light. Beat in eggs until creamy then stir in flour and baking powder to make soft dough. Divide dough evenly into 16 parts. Roll each part into a flattened ball and set aside on a plate. Wrap plate in plastic wrap and refrigerate two hours. Grease cookie sheet and set aside. Roll 1 ball dough into a rectangle about 1/16 thick. Spread 1 heaping teaspoon of jam evenly over dough leaving a generous margin. Roll out another ball into similar shape and lay it neatly over the first. Using sharp knife trim tart to approximately 3-1/2 x5 and crimp edge with fingertips or tines of fork. Place tart on cookie sheet and prick top with fork. Lightly beat egg white with milk then brush tops of tarts and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Prick again during first 10 minutes of baking keep them flat. Cool then wrap and store in the refrigerator. Tarts may also be iced if desired.
