Hi Bold Bakers! This week I want to show you how to make a homemade version of a very popular breakfast or after-school treat: Homemade Pop-Tarts! And now that it is summer, many people have more free time so there’s no better time to practice your hobbies in the kitchen. Already have an account? Homemade Pop-Tarts are not complicated to make, they are simply short crust pastry (aka pie crust pastry) and a filling of your choice, be it jam or whatever takes your fancy. Now, how good you are at making pastry will make a big difference but do not worry, that’s why I’m here. In this video, I show you all the basic tips you need when it comes to pastry making. Follow my tips and you’ll have beautiful pastry every time. I would just like to point out that when I was growing up in Ireland my mum would give us her leftover scraps of pastry and a jar of jam. We would put jam on odds and ends of pastry and pierce them together with a fork. And then when she had the oven on for dinner we would bake them off. We proudly placed our creations in different corners of the tray so we could remember which pastry belonged to one another, for fear that my sister Carol-Ann might eat my pieces. Long story short, maybe my mum, Patricia Stafford, invented the first Pop-Tart and we should have a chat with the Kellogg’s family about some royalties. Just sayin’! 🙂

These pop tarts represent everything I love about baking. You can take some ingredients that are so simple and make something so satisfying and best of all homemade.

This tastes simply like Christmas wrapped in pastry. Warm, comforting flavors that remind me of the holiday season. Who doesn’t want that in their mouth.

A triple whammy of chocolate and fudge, you can’t go wrong with that. Don’t miss my other Pop-Tart recipes:
