Course Breakfast
Servings 8 poptarts

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets rolled puff pastry dough
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk divided
  • 1/2 cup jam any variety
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup Lucky Charms cereal

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out puff pastry dough into a 10 inch by 10 inch square. (I prefer to use rolled pastry doughs because it gives you a perfect even square to begin with!)
  • Using a sharp knife, cut dough horizontally down the middle, creating 2 rectangles. Then cut dough vertically in four equal parts. (If you're using a 10x10 rectangle you'll make the cuts every 2 1/2 inches.) Top 4 of your rectangles with one tbsp of jam, leaving a small border of pastry around the jam. Repeat with other puff pastry sheet. 
  • Place the remaining pastry on top of the jam filled pastry. Gently secure edges with your fingers and using a fork, crimp edges. 
  • Whisk together 1 tbsp of milk and egg. Brush tops of pastry with egg wash and bake for 15-18 minutes. 
  • While baking, prepare your icing. Whisk together sugar, remaining milk and vanilla until well incorporated. If icing is too thick, add a touch more milk. 
  • Remove poptarts from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Top with icing and sprinkle on cereal. Serve and Enjoy!
