hey everyone it's James from fun foods and today I'm gonna show you how to make this
giant pop-tart now I made this thing completely from scratch so keep watching
I'll show you step by step how to make this the first thing we need to do is
make our pastry and I'm gonna make this completely from scratch if you've seen
my last videos of my pop-tarts I used a pre-made pie crust but for this because
it's gonna be a giant one I figured the best way to do it is to make it from
scratch start off with a large bowl and to that we're gonna add 2 cups of flour
1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt just whisk this all up after that's
been whisked up pretty good what we're gonna do now is add some butter this is
1 cup of butter that I have cubed up and we're just gonna put that in there at
this point you want to switch to a wooden spoon because the whisk won't
work very well and we're just gonna mix everything in really good really work
that butter into that flour it helps if the butter is a little soft you don't
want to be too hard so after some work you can tell that your flour and butter
mixture here is all well combined it's kind of creamed together it is gonna be
quite a bit of a dry mixture right now at this stage so just take this set this
aside we're gonna come back to a smaller bowl here it's okay if this has been
used what we're gonna do is add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 large egg just
whisk this up when that's been whisked up now we're just gonna come back to our
butter and flour mixture here so we're just gonna mix in our egg here we go
adding a milk mixture and then combine this mix it up really good
and as you see it's all mixed in really good now we're gonna move on to the next
step which is kneading the dough for this step we want to start off with this
smooth surface so I have my little smooth surface down here and we want to
put some flour on that just coat it with some flour and then we can take our
dough and roll it out right onto that floured surface you sprinkle a little
bit of flour on top as well and we're just gonna knead this and you're not
gonna knead it much next we're gonna roll this out but you want to roll it out to
about the size of our baking pan just a little short of this so that's how big
our pop-tarts are gonna be so I've rolled it out pretty good I'm gonna cut
this just so it's perfectly square and I'm gonna cut about here or rectangle I
should say and this is gonna be one half of our pop-tart now just take your one
half and we want to put this on some on our baking sheet that has there we go
so I put it on our baking sheet that's been lined with some parchment paper and
we're gonna move on and just do a whole nother batch just for the other half
alright so I went ahead off-camera and made a second one of these pop-tart
halves I just made sure that they're the same size so here's one and there's the
other now what we need to do is make an egg wash which is I'm gonna put two eggs
in a container here
then you want to add about two tablespoons of milk 2 teaspoons of milk
sorry you just want to whisk this up
there we go what we're going to do now is just take a brush and we're going to
spread it on here especially pay close attention around the sides
and I've decided to make this a strawberry pop-tart and I just have some
strawberry jam here then I'm going to scoop out and you want to keep it near
the middle more but you want to spread it out a little bit now once you have
that on there spread out what we're going to do here is do another egg wash
on this one spread it out really good
once that's on there like that now we can take this and we're just going to
flip this over right on top of the other one kind of line it up there we go now
just take a fork and we want to press in the sides this is going to seal it
up really good
and I'm gonna put another egg wash on top of this but before I do that I want
to transfer it over to our cookie sheet again
now it probably would have been easier if I had done that in Reverse and I had
put the other one on top of the one that was already on the cookie sheet and of
course that would be easier now what we got to do is we got to poke some holes
now you can do it with a fork you can do it with um you know toothpicks whatever
because we want to make it so to breathe is why it cooks so just gonna poke a few
holes in here there we go and then finally another coat of our egg wash
all right now just take this you want to put this in the oven at 375 degrees
anywhere between I'm gonna check it out 15 minutes but I'm guessing I'll take 20
to 25 minutes to cook still has a long way to go but look how nicely it's
coming along there hmm Wow our giant pop-tart looks amazing what we're gonna
do right now is let this cool down at least 5 to 10 minutes and it's golden
brown just perfect the way I want it and then we can move on to the next step
which is the icing to make the icing that's gonna go on top of our giant
pop-tart I just have a medium bowl here and to that I'm gonna add one cup of
powdered sugar a teaspoon of vanilla extract and about two tablespoons of
milk just mix this in really good it's really a game of playing with it to get
the right consistency I'm gonna add another cup of powdered sugar to this
and if that's too much just add a little bit more milk but not too much
now I think this is perfect I added two cups of powdered sugar and about two
tablespoons of milk and of course one teaspoon of vanilla extract now let's
just take this and put this on our giant pop-tart now our pop-tart has cooled
down a little bit it's not completely cooled it's still warm and we're just
going to add our icing right on top of it spread it around
and because pop-tarts usually have some sort of sprinkles or something across
the top of them I'm gonna use these rainbow sprinkles and just kind of
sprinkle them around and that's it that is our giant pop-tart looks amazing I
can't wait to bite into it okay so I cut our big giant pop-tart in half and we're
gonna bite into this and see how it tastes
mmm it's good tastes just like a pop-tart just a giant version of it
