Step 1

1 In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour and sugar. Add in the butter and mix until it resembles sand.

Step 2

2 Add in the ice water 1/2 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. It may require 1-2 tablespoons of ice-water. You want the dough to be smooth and slightly sticky, but not too dry or wet.

Step 3

3 Wrap the dough in some grease proof paper and place into the fridge for 30 minutes. This will help to prevent sticking when you roll it out.

Step 4

4 Preheat oven to 180*C fan and line baking trays with grease proof paper.

Step 5

5 Roll out the dough in-between 2 sheets of floured grease proof paper until its a large rectangle. ( you can dust with some flour if needed) You’ll want the dough relatively thin. Use a ghost cookie cutter to cut out ghost shapes then place on the lined trays. You can keep re-rolling the excess dough to use it all up.

Step 6

6 Spoon a teaspoon or two of strawberry jam on to half of the ghost cutouts and gently spread it out. Make sure there’s about 1/3 inch open space around the edge of your pastries, then brush the edges with some milk.

Step 7

7 Place another ghost shape over the jam filled ghost. Using your finger, press down the edges of the ghosts to stick them together to create a parcel, then press together with a fork to seal.

Step 8

8 Brush the tops of the pop tarts with some milk. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pop tarts are golden brown.
