Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour
  • salt
  • sugar
  • unsalted butter
  • ice water
  • brown sugar
  • all-purpose flour
  • cinnamon
  • unsalted butter
  • powdered sugar
  • cinnamon
  • milk

Method

  1. 1

    In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar.

  2. 2

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the food processor.

  3. 3

    Pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs or pea-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the ice water until the dough just begins to clump together.

  5. 5

    Turn the dough out onto a clean surface.

  6. 6

    Gently form the dough into a log, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and all-purpose flour.

  8. 8

    Mix the dry ingredients together with a fork.

  9. 9

    Pour the melted butter over the sugar mixture.

  10. 10

    Stir with a spatula until everything is well combined and has the consistency of wet sand. Set aside.

  11. 11

    Unwrap the chilled dough and place it on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

  12. 12

    Cut the dough in half to create two equal portions.

  13. 13

    Roll out one half of the dough into a large rectangle.

  14. 14

    Dust the dough lightly with flour.

  15. 15

    Evenly spread the cinnamon-sugar filling over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  16. 16

    Roll out the second half of the dough into a rectangle of the same size.

  17. 17

    Carefully place the second sheet of dough on top of the filling.

  18. 18

    Press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal the slab.

  19. 19

    Trim any excess dough from the edges for a neat rectangle.

  20. 20

    Prick the top of the dough all over with a fork.

  21. 21

    Transfer the assembled slab on its baking mat or parchment paper to a baking sheet.

  22. 22

    Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

  23. 23

    While the pop-tart slab is baking, prepare the glaze. In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Add the milk and whisk until a smooth, thick glaze forms.

  24. 24

    Once the slab is baked and has cooled slightly, pour the glaze over the top.

  25. 25

    Use an offset spatula to spread the glaze evenly over the entire surface.

  26. 26

    Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes.

  27. 27

    Once the glaze has set, use a large knife to slice the slab into individual pop-tart squares.

  28. 28

    Serve and enjoy.
