What is a pop tart? 

Pop tarts are rectangle breakfast pastries made by Kellogg company when a janitor asked to meet with the executive board to pitch his idea of pie crust and jam together to make a pastry.

Ingredients needed

Two cans of crescent dough.  I used a store-bought crescent sheet, but you can also use the crescent dough with the triangle cutouts. 

1/2 cup of high-quality strawberry jam or strawberry preserves.  To make this fancy, you can also make a homemade strawberry compote with fresh berries.  If you use a fruit compote, cook it with a thickener, and don’t add all the juices to the rolls. 

Ingredients for the frosting glaze 

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Two tablespoons of milk 

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract 

One teaspoon of corn syrup

One tablespoon of melted butter 

Sprinkles

Equipment

baking sheet pan or casserole dish 

parchment paper 

spatula for spreading the jam over the crescent roll

medium mixing bowl and a whisk for mixing frosting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees g

2. Pop open crescent dough , unroll it, and lay it out onto your work surface.  You can choose to use a rolling pin to roll it out a bit further.

3. Spread strawberry jam evenly onto one side of the crescent roll dough.

4. Roll the crescent roll into one long roll and cut into small rolls with a sharp knife. make sure to seal each roll.  Do the same with the second piece of dough.   Arrange the dough rolls into a 12X12  linedbakng pan or casserole dish.

5. Bake the rolls in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.

6. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting.  In a mixing bowl stir together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, butter, and corn syrup with a spoon.  mix until you get a liquidy glaze.  set aside.

7. When the rolls are done baking, take them out of the oven and let them cook slightly for 5 minutes.  You may choose to spread more jam on top of them for more strawberry flavor.  If you do this, then add the jam while the rolls are still hot.

8.  Drizzle pop tart glaze on top of the rolls and add sprinkles.

9. Serve.
