Pop Tart Dough

Mix together the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor.
Add butter and pulse until it turns into a crumbly meal-like texture.
Drizzle over the ice water and pulse until the dough sticks together when squished together.
Divide the dough into six balls and dye each ball a colour of the rainbow with food colouring.
Flatten each ball of dough into a disk and stack them up in the order of the rainbow.
Twist together, then divide in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Filling

Roll the dough out into a 10x8-inch (25cm by 20cm) rectangle.

Cut into six rectangles and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Dollop 1 teaspoon of jam onto the centre of one side of each rectangle.
Fold the rectangle over to cover the jam and seal closed with a fork.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and fully cool.

Glaze

Combine the whipping cream and vanilla extract in a bowl.
Add the confectioner's sugar and whisk until fully combined.
Spoon some glaze onto each pop tart and decorate with rainbow sprinkles. Enjoy!

Below are some of the ingredients and equipment I used. I prefer Wilton Food colouring for that vibrant colour.

Every once in a while I like to bake and I love to create these for my family. When you see the coloured dough divided then rolled, it is very satisfying to see the marbled look throughout. I used strawberry jam as my filling. You can be as creative as you like and add any style of sprinkles.

Have Fun!
