Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons cold water

Filling Options

  • Filling of your choice (jams, chocolate spread, or even homemade fillings)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Add the chilled and cubed butter, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and stir in 4 tablespoons of cold water.
  • Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, adding more water as needed until the dough holds together.

Chilling the Dough

  • Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a rectangle.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Rolling Out the Dough

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough rectangle to approximately 1/8 inch thick.
  • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to create rectangles or squares, approximately 3 inches wide and 4 inches long.
  • Repeat with the second rectangle.

Assembling the Pop Tarts

  • Place half of the dough rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Add a spoonful of your chosen filling in the center of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.
  • Top with another rectangle of dough and gently press the edges to seal.
  • Use a fork to crimp the edges for an attractive finish.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the pop tarts for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow them to cool on a wire rack before glazing.

Notes

Chill the dough to ensure a flaky texture. Consider experimenting with seasonal flavors like fruit preserves or chocolate for variety. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days, or freeze for longer storage.
