Step 1

Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl

Step 2

Mix in butter and toss to combine

Step 3

Use your fingers to smoosh the butter into the flour enough to create 1/4 inch pieces

Step 4

Add the water and mix with your hands to combine and knead softly to create a dough.

Step 5

Cut dough into 2 parts and wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours

Step 6

Place one of the wrapped doughs on a floured surface

Step 7

Cover a rolling pin (or wine bottle) in flour

Step 8

Roll out the dough into about a 10x14 sheet

Step 9

Using a rectangle cookie cutter, or create a rectangle stencil, cut out 6 pieces

Step 10

Take 1 piece and place it on a wax paper covered baking sheet

Step 11

place 1-2 tablespoons of jam in the center of the piece

Step 12

Dip your finger in a bit of water and run it around the outline of the rectangle (this will help it meld to top layer)

Step 13

Place one of the other rectangles on top and using a fork push down around the border to seal the pastry

Step 14

Using the same fork, poke a few holes in the dough for the steam to release

Step 15

Repeat with the remaining rectangles and roll out the next piece of dough and do the same.

Step 16

Whisk together the egg and 1 teaspoon water and brush over pop-tarts.

Step 17

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until light brown

Step 18

Mix together the ingredients with a fork or a whisk, if the mixture is to thick add a little more water until you get a consistency you like

Step 19

Using a spoon pour over cooled pop-tarts and eat up!!
