Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F
Prepare the crust by whisking together the gluten-free flour and baking powder. Add in yogurt and stir to combine. The mixture will be crumbly
Dump out crumbly mixture onto floured work surface and knead together ingredients until a ball of dough forms. note: if mixture is too crumbly to come together while kneading, add water 1 teaspoon at a time and continue to knead just until a ball can form.
Roll out dough on surface using a rolling pin to about ⅛ inch thick.
Use your cookie cutter (or knife) to cut out 12 uniform circles or rectangles.
Add about 2 tablespoons of jam to the center of 6 circles.
Place the remaining 6 circles over the top (like a sandwich) and use a fork to lightly crimp the two pieces together.
Brush each pastry with melted butter and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
Transfer pastries to a cooling rack to cool for about 5 minutes.
While cooling, whisk together the icing ingredients to make your icing.
Spread the icing on the poptarts and top with sprinkles.
Serve warm or allow to cool a bit more (the longer it cools, the harder the crust will get) and enjoy!
