Find out how to make this yummy Bakerella treat!

Strawberry LolliPop Tarts
Makes 20

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp. milk
20 lollipop sticks
1 egg, beaten to brush on dough
Strawberry spreadable fruit or jam
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

1. In a food processor, add flour, salt and sugar and pulse until mixed together. Add butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form.

2. Add egg yolk and milk and pulse until combined. The mixture will start to come together into dough, but won’t be quite there yet.

3. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead together. Divide dough into two flattened discs and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough about 30 minutes.

4. Roll dough into a large rectangle onto a floured work surface and cut into even sections that are about 2×3 inches. (Note: I used a rectangular cookie cutter that size.) Reroll scraps and cut more rectangles.

5. Place two rows of cut rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, slightly offset from each other to allow room for lollipop sticks. Brush dough with egg and press lollipop stick into dough.

6. Top each rectangle on the sheet with strawberry spreadable fruit and place another rectangle shape on top. Press edges together with your fingers and then use fork to seal around the edges. Make sure the dough is also pressed against the lollipop sticks to avoid leaking. Prick the top layer of each tart a couple of times with your fork.

7. Repeat with remaining dough on a second baking sheet and place baking sheets in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, then bake tarts for 20-22 minutes. Cool slightly and transfer pop tarts to a wire rack to decorate and drizzle with icing (see next step). Place parchment paper underneath to catch any drippings.

9. For icing: Stir powdered sugar, milk and vanilla together with a spoon until completely combined. Drizzle or cover tops of tarts with icing and sprinkles. You can add more a little more milk to make icing thinner or more powdered sugar to make it thicker.
