GRAIN-FREE Pop Tarts

(from greenfood’s recipe box)

Source: Otto Naturals

Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 sticks (12 Tbsp.) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup ice water

Directions

  1. In a food processor, combine cassava flour, salt, and butter; pulsing briefly until butter is the size of peas, about 10 seconds.
  2. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until just moistened and crumbly.
  3. Transfer crumbly dough to a lightly floured work surface and shape into 2 discs. Wrap one in saran wrap and refrigerate while you work with the other.
  4. Divide disc evenly into 6 balls and flatten each to about 1/8-inch using the method of your choice. We prefer making rounds using our tortilla press and two pieces of parchment paper, but you can go old school and use a rolling pin if you prefer. Round or rectangle, it’s up to you! If doing rectangles, you’ll want to keep them to around 4×3-inches.
  5. Stack, separated with parchment, and refrigerate for at least 30 mins. Repeat with the second disc.
  6. After refrigeration, place half the dough pieces on a cookie sheet and add your desired filling, taking care to leave about ¼-inch on the perimeter for the dough to seal.
  7. Top with another piece of dough and seal the edges by crimping with a fork, ensuring your filling won’t escape.
  8. Poke a few tiny holes in the top with a toothpick or fork to let steam escape during baking; this will keep the flakiness!
  9. Pop the tarts back into the refrigerator while your oven preheats, about 15-20 minutes. This will firm the pastry back up and ensure even baking.
  10. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350°F, turning pan halfway through. Pastries should be a light golden-brown.
  11. Allow to cool on pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. They will be delicate until completely cool.
  12. Eat now or store for a quick breakfast. These heat up beautifully in the toaster, especially if not pre-frosted.

  13. ore in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 6. To reheat, pop in the toaster or reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes. You can freeze if un-frosted and reheat the same way.

  14. To frost, whisk glaze ingredients and carefully spread on your pop-tarts with the back of a spoon. Add sprinkles for a little color pop!
