Flaky, buttery Blueberry Pop Tarts filled with sweet preserves and topped with vanilla glaze—easy to make and perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 45 tablespoons cold water

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup blueberry preserves

For Assembly:

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water (1 tbsp at a time) until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat and Roll: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick, forming a rectangle.
  3. Cut and Fill: Cut the dough into 3×4-inch rectangles. Spoon 1 tsp of blueberry preserves onto half of the rectangles, leaving space at the edges. Brush the edges with beaten egg.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Top with another rectangle, press the edges gently, and crimp with a fork to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush the tops with egg wash, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Glaze and Serve: Cool the tarts on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the icing. Drizzle over the cooled tarts.
