POP TART RECIPE BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON

Set aside a weekend or your next day off for this recipe.

I strongly advise not skipping the chill time suggested in the recipe below, as tempting as it may be. The pastry needs to chill several times throughout the course of the recipe. This makes it easier to handle and helps it bake properly.

Ideally, you should set aside about 2 hours for this recipe, so it’s best to make these pop tarts either on a weekend or when you have a day off work. Avoid making the dough the night before and letting it chill in the fridge all night. If you do this, your pastry dough won’t be pliable enough to roll out the next day.

You can substitute vanilla glaze for the tops and strawberry preserves for the filling.

For a twist on this recipe, you can make strawberry pop tarts by substituting strawberry preserves (or cherry or whatever type of preserves you prefer!) for the filling instead of the brown sugar cinnamon filling. Just add about 1 tbsp of preserves instead.

You can also make a basic glaze by omitting the ground cinnamon in the icing recipe below.

Helpful Hint: To make them look like real strawberry Pop-tarts, top the glaze with a dusting of rainbow sprinkles for a beautiful presentation!

Pair these pop tarts with a medium roast coffee.

For the perfect coffee companion, consider a medium roast coffee. These pop tarts have lovely buttery and cinnamon flavors, which would be nicely complemented with a fuller body coffee that has a low acidity.

Think Sumatran coffee here, and give Blue Bottle’s Giant Steps a try. It’s a darker blend with tasting notes of cocoa, marshmallows, and graham cracker.

brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts

Pastry
 2 ⅛ cups flour
 1 tsp salt
 1 tsp sugar
 1 cup cold unsalted butter, diced into 1/2 inch cubes
 5 tbsp cold water
Filling
 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 ½ cup brown sugar
 1 tbsp flour
 1 egg
 2 tsp milk
Cinnamon Icing
 ¾ cup powdered sugar
 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 1 tbsp milk

Pastry
1

Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl and mix together. Add the cold butter and use your hands (or a food processor) to incorporate. Once the butter resembles pea size pieces, it's ready.

2

Start by adding 4 tbsp of water first and mix together. If the mixture isn't clumping together, add another tbsp of water.

3

Flour your counter and drop the mixture onto it. Divide the dough into two pieces and shape each piece into a 5-inch disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

4

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove 1 disk from the fridge and roll it out onto a floured surface to a 13 x 11- inch rectangle. Trim down with a pizza cutter to get a clean 12 x 10- inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 5 x 3-inch rectangles. There should be 8 in total. Place them on the prepared sheet and place in fridge.

5

Grab the second disk and repeat the process. Place the 8 pieces on the prepared sheet and place second tray in the fridge. While the dough chills, begin the filling.

Filling
6

Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl combine egg and milk to make egg wash.

7

Take 1 of the baking sheets from fridge and brush each of the rectangles with the egg wash. Place 1 tbsp of filling in the center of each rectangle and spread evenly. Leave about 1/4 inch of space around all the edges. Brush the rectangles on the 2nd baking sheet and then place (egg wash side down) on top of the rectangles with filling. Press down on the edges to seal the pop tarts shut.

8

Seal all edges with a fork to get a nice crimping look and a tiny hole into the top of each pop tart using a toothpick. Place trays in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

9

Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the pop tarts with egg wash. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Rotate the pan halfway through. Let cool completely.

Icing
10

Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk in a bowl until it's thick enough to spread. If too thick, add 1 tsp or milk. Spread over cold pop tarts. Enjoy pop tarts right away or wait until the icing hardens!

The Flair Pro 2 Review: For The True Espresso-Lover

Toffee, also known as buttercrunch in the US, is a Toffee, also known as buttercrunch in the US, is a delectable hard candy that is made by boiling sugar and butter together.

This recipe is unique in that it’s very thin (so it’s safe for your teeth!) and it’s also nut-free (shoutout to my bestie). Pretzels are used here to give it that extra bit of texture that nuts provide in traditional English toffee.

Here are few recipe highlights: 
•This easy toffee recipe has loads of dark chocolate and crushed, salty pretzels.
•Coat both sides of the toffee with melted chocolate and pretzels for maximum enjoyment. 
•Pair this toffee with a light roast coffee to balance out the dark and buttery flavors of the toffee.

Full recipe is on the blog because it’s too long for a post unfortunately, link is in bio!

With the warm weather here in Philly and the cherr With the warm weather here in Philly and the cherry blossoms blossoming, I’ve been all about cold brew. Talking about it, making it, and of course — drinking it. To help you in your own brewing adventures, I came up with a few cold brew coffee hacks to improve your cold brew game.  

Here are my best cold brew tips/hacks for you: 

1. Brew your own cold brew at home with or without a cold brew maker. To make cold brew, you don’t need a fancy cold brew maker. All you really need are your pre-grounds, a large mason jar or pitcher, and a cheesecloth. Place the water and grounds into the pitcher together, stir them up, and place a lid on top. Allow the pitcher to sit on the counter for 12 to 15 hours. Next, filter the coffee grounds through the cheese cloth into a bowl (or even a pour over instrument!) and enjoy! That’s it — best cold brew recipe is in bio. 

2. Make cold brew ice cubes. An iced coffee drink can quickly turn into a watery mess if you don’t drink it fast enough. Instead of throwing it out, try cold brew coffee ice cubes. It does take a day of preparation, but you’re then set for weeks.

3. Try a light roast cold brew. It’s often best to use older or lower quality beans to make cold brew because in the end most cold brew batches taste the same. But there is an exception if you use very FRESH & LIGHT ROAST beans. The cold brew offers new flavors that are worth trying — try it out and see if you notice a difference! 

BONUS TIP: Coffee Explorer with host Jen Stone, Licensed Quality Grader & CIEL founder, released a new episode all about cold brew (featuring yours truly). Give it a listen for extra cold brew tips & tricks (it's only 15 minutes). Link in bio!

How do you usually make cold brew? Would love to know in the comments!

The lever-driven espresso machine was brought about in 1947 by Achille Gaggia. This invention revolutionized espresso coffee in the home and cafe sphere.

Yet like, manual brew coffee, manual espresso brewing has experienced a sort of renaissance as many are going back to the basics in order to fully experience and appreciate the process of making their morning java. Manual brewing also provides a much more controlled environment, which is ideal for making excellent coffee and espresso.

One company that has taken on the task of bringing the manual espresso machine back is Flair Espresso. They are known for their elegant, yet simplistic lever espresso machines that produce flavorful espresso without any electricity. 

If you are someone who is fascinated by the process of espresso-making or rather you’re someone who wants to get into this particular coffee hobby, the Flair Pro 2 is a wonderful way to explore and get the full espresso-making experience.

It’s ultimately an art form of sorts that any true espresso-lover should experience. Full review is up on the blog✌️
