butter cold, cubed plus extra for greasing the pie dish Teddy forgave Mr NQN within a couple of days and he was back to being a daddy's boy. So tell me Dear Reader, do you like pop tarts? Have you tried the commercial ones? How about home made ones? What is your favourite filling? 'All I can say is that I would have hated being dropped in the water! It has to be on my terms!' I explained.

He gets his sociability and confidence from me but gets his love of water and adventure from Mr NQN. We joke that Teddy takes after both of us. Mr NQN was bewildered by Teddy's reaction. It was like he was saying, 'Don't do that again! I did not enjoy that at all,' and after that he wouldn't go near poor Mr NQN. Teddy barked at him scolding him for a good 30 seconds. Teddy quickly swam back to shore and immediately got out of the water and was very, very unimpressed at being deposited into the water. He carried Teddy out to knee deep water and then gently lowered Teddy into the water.

Teddy already knows how to swim but Mr NQN wanted to take him into the water and get a video of him swimming on the Go Pro camera. Mr NQN had an idea to teach Teddy swimming. It's his favourite move and he had sand everywhere, even on his eyelashes. Teddy ran straight to the water to cool off and then proceeded to roll around in the sand. They all looked so happy swimming in the ocean and prancing around. There were dogs of all shapes and breeds there and it was a doggy paradise. On one of the few sunny days we took Teddy for a visit to Silver Beach in Kurnell which is a dog friendly beach. We've had a wonderful time so far although our wings were slightly clipped by the unseasonably cold weather. Pop tarts are a breakfast food but they're great any time of the day or for dessert. I thought I'd give you this recipe in case you wanted to make these over the holidays.

When ready, bake them at 200C/400F for 25-28 minutes. You can store unbaked and uniced pop tarts in the freezer for up to 3 months. To heat up bake at 160C/320F for 5-8 minutes.Ĭan you freeze home made pop tarts? Yes! These pop tarts freeze well too. Serve warm: These pop tarts or turnovers are best served warm. Basically anything that you can put into a pie works well! Other delicious fillings include Nutella and hazelnut, strawberry and vanilla, peach, any jam works well inside these or S'mores (marshmallow, cookie crumbs and chocolate). Other pop tart fillings: I used apples because I had lots of apples from my vege box. Shortcut: If you don't want to make your own pastry from scratch you can absolutely use pre-made puff or shortcrust pastry! You can also keep these in the fridge overnight and then bake them fresh on the day! Likewise, I made the apple filling three days ahead and kept it in the fridge. Make these pop tarts ahead of time: I made the pastry a few weeks ahead and put it in the freezer and then allowed it to come to temperature when I needed to use it. Glaze is optional and I just like to add a little to the pop tart because I find it already sweet. I prefer using icing sugar rather than icing sugar mixture (icing sugar with cornflour added) as it dries stiff quicker. I usually do it before I put them in the fridge for the final 20 minutes.Ĩ - Add the glaze once the tarts are baked and allow the glaze time to set completely. Cold pastry in a hot oven gives you the best result always.ħ - Trim the edges of the pop tarts if you want them to look pretty. Then using my hands I firmly but gently press down on the sides to seal them and then double seal it with a fork.Ħ - Place the pop tarts in the fridge for 20 minutes before you bake them. I brush the edges with egg wash, add the filling then add the top. Warm fillings melt the butter in the pastry and start to cook it which means that your pastry won't have a light and flakey texture.ĥ - Seal the pastry well or you will get leaks and your filling will spill out. Use a thin ended chopstick or skewer to make the holes.Ĥ - Make sure that the filling is cold when you add it to the pastry. Actual pop tarts are flatter and have less filling but the filling is one of the best parts.ģ - Make sure to poke holes in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. If your pastry is misbehaving and floppy send it to the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up!Ģ - You always hear don't overfill the pastry but you can add 1 1/4 or 1.5 tablespoons of filling in these. Pastry generally tends to work best when it is out of the fridge for 10 minutes so that it's not too stiff but also not floppy. 1 - A lot of pastry work depends on the ambient temperature and the temperature of the pastry.
