Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Whisk all-purpose flour, sourdough starter, sugar, and salt until well combined. Cut in unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Roll Out and Fill: Roll the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3x3 inch squares. Place a spoonful of jam on one half of each square, fold the other half over, and seal the edges using a fork.
  3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the pop tarts on the sheet. Brush with a beaten egg and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Prepare the Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Adjust milk to desired consistency.
  5. Glaze and Serve: Once cooled, drizzle the icing over the tarts. Allow to set slightly before serving.
