Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose rice flour blend
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup very cold unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup very cold shortening
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons ice cold water
  • 16 teaspoons gluten-free seedless strawberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, sugar, and salt.
  2. Cut in cold butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Beat eggs with apple cider vinegar and ice-cold water; stir into dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Cut rectangles from the dough; place a spoonful of strawberry jam on half and cover with another rectangle. Pinch edges to seal.
  7. Transfer to lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash (beaten egg mixed with water), and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and water until smooth; drizzle over cooled pop tarts.
