Homemade Blueberry Pop Tarts

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
  • 4 –5 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
 

  • Mix flour and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in cold, cubed butter until the texture looks like coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in cold water (1 tbsp at a time) until the dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll dough on a floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick, aiming for a rectangle.
  • Cut dough into 3x4-inch rectangles. Spoon 1 tsp blueberry preserves onto the center of half the pieces, leaving space at the edges.
  • Brush edges with beaten egg. Top with another rectangle. Press edges gently and crimp with a fork to seal.
  • Place tarts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool on the tray 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, and drizzle over cooled tarts.
