Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe Pie Dough for top and bottom crust or store-bought puff pastry
  • 1/2 Cup Strawberry Jam or Preserves I love using raspberry too
  • 1 Tbsp Cream Heavy Cream, Half and Half, Milk
  • 3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Milk
  • 1/2 Tsp Strawberry Emulsion or Extract
  • Pink Food Coloring a few drops

Method
 

Make the Toaster Strudels
  1. Roll out each pie dough disk into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 smaller rectangles. Keep the dough that you are not working with in the refrigerator and covered.
  2. Spoon and spread 1 - 2 tablespoons of your favorite jam leaving 1/2 inch boarder.
  3. Pre-Heat the oven to 350°
  4. Brush an egg wash around the edges and gently press down with your fingers. Crimp the edges with a fork. Re-cut the rectangles by cutting a small amount off each side for a clean edge. Place in the refrigerator or freezer for 20 minutes before baking.
  5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Allow the toaster strudels to cool completely before frosting and decorating.
Make the Frosting
  1. Whisk the powdered sugar with the milk adding more until it forms a thick but spreadable consistency. Add the strawberry emulsion or extract and food coloring if desired and mix again.
