Homemade Pop Tarts


Since Gourmet died and along with it, its newsletter, I've been subscribed to the sadly not-as-terrific Bon Appetit newsletter. I hadn't made anything from it until last weekend when I saw a recipe for homemade pop tarts. Yeah, I know.

The newsletter marketed these as a "really easy" dessert. And I guess they are, if you consider making pie crust "really easy." I've made tons of pie crusts, but I still wouldn't call them easy.

But no matter. Easy or sort of hard, these are worth making. The crust is salty and crispy. And is totally awesome with fresh preserves that you can easily (I swear this is actually easy) make while the pie dough rests. I forwent the powdered sugar at the end and it wasn't missed.

You can find the recipe here. Make these and take them to a birthday brunch. I promise whomever you're celebrating will love them as much as my friend Ben did.
