Pie Crust

1-1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening or unsalted butter
3 to 5 tablespoons cold water

Combine flour and salt in bowl. Add shortening or butter and blend with fork, pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture is fairly coarse. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, gently mixing dough after each addition until dough forms a ball. (Dough can also be prepared in food processor. Use the pulse button just until it starts to pull away from the sides. Be very careful not to overwork the dough which makes it tough.) Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a square/rectangle. Cut out long strips about 2 to 3 inches wide, and 3 to 4 inches long. Repeat until you run out of dough.

Glaze:

1 cup powder sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp butter

milk to thin

Place powdered sugar,vanilla and butter in bowl. Pour milk slowly until it has a consistancy you like.

Brown sugar Filling:
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp flour
1 tsp cinnamin
2 tsp butter

Mix all together and scoop onto pastry spreading almost to the edge.

Assemble: Take one pie crust rectangle rolled out slightly thinner than you would roll out a pie crust,

fill with a tsp to 1 1/2 tbsp of jam or brown sugar filling spreading almost to the edge of the pastry.


Cover with another piece of pie crust. Crimpe all four edges sealing the two layers together.

Bake at 450F for abou7-10 minutes or until slightly brown. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, spread glaze on top of Poptart and decorate with sparkling sugar or sprinkle of your choice.
