Neighborhood kids are running around with Pop-tarts and popsicles. Of course, I get the "Dad, I want a..." from my son. OK little man, challenge accepted.
So he and I made our own version of Pop-tarts. I hate to say that we used refrigerated pie crusts and a lot of brown sugar. But hey, it worked! Now to make my own pie crust and come up with some better fillings. My mom already texted me, yes, texted me, her pie crust recipe and my wife makes her own strawberry jam (we live on the Central Coast of California where many of the strawberries are grown). So game on! Now to make a strawberry tester batch and see how they freeze for easier breakfasts when school starts again.
Now to conquer the popsicle. Watermelon in the food processor and Tupperware popsicle molds and we are in business. Now to change up the flavors and I want mango!
Mom's pie crust:
3 C. Flour, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 11/2C Crisco, 1 egg, 5T water, 1 tsp vinegar. Mix flour & salt. Mix in Crisco. Combine Water,vinegar & egg.add to flour mixture. Mix lightly. Divide & roll out. Makes 2 pie crusts.
