Homemade Cinnamon-Nutella Pop Tarts

 

 

 

 

Ingredients: *I am not listing exact measurements as amounts will vary depending on how much dough you have*

- Shortcrust pastry (pie dough) or puff pastry
- Nutella or any chocolate spread you fancy (1 tbsp per pop tart)
- cinnamon (1/8 tsp per pop tart

- heavy cream
- granulated sugar

Glaze:
- confectioner's sugar
- vanilla extract (1 tsp for every cup of sugar)
- milk (2 tbsp for every cup of sugar) 

Method:

 1. Preheat the oven to 375 F or 200 C
2. Flour a work surface and roll the pastry to around 1/4 cm thickness.
3. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut even rectangles of dough, around 3  by 5 inches work well.
4. Place the dough on the baking tray- lined with parchment or aluminum foil that has been lightly floured.
5. Spread 1 tbsp of Nutella on one rectangle leaving a 1/2  centimeter periphery and sprinkle on a pinch of cinnamon (1/8 tsp) evenly.
6. Brush this periphery with heavy cream or egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water).
7. Place a bare rectangle directly on the one with Nutella and press the edges gently. Then, taking a knife, cut the edges to create sharp, straight ones.
8. Using a fork, gently press the edges of the rectangle to create a pattern.
9. Brush the tops of all the rectangles with heavy cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar for a nice shimmer.
10. Bake for 10-15 min until golden brown and drizzle with the glaze.
11. For the glaze, combine all the ingredients together until smooth, place in a ziplock bag and snip of the end to drizzle. Or you could just spread it with a knife of back of a spoon.
