Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour and sugar. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Filling: Mix blueberries with sugar and vanilla extract in another bowl; mash lightly while leaving some whole.
  3. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, divide chilled dough and roll into rectangles (3×4 inches).
  4. Assemble: Place rectangles on a baking sheet, spoon filling onto half, cover with another rectangle, seal edges.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush with egg wash and cut slits on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Customize your pop tarts with different fillings like strawberries or chocolate. Ensure your butter is cold for the flakiest crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
