Homemade Pop Tarts
Think of all the things I could have baked with pastry dough. The tarts, the quiche, the sweet cherry pies. And yet…I chose pop tarts. You heard that right. Remember those crisp-edged toasty pastries that came two to a foil pack? Especially if said pastries have gooey centers filled with brown sugar and cinnamon. …or rose-hued cherry centers. Buttery and slightly crumbly, these taste of sweater vests and New Kids on the Block, sleepovers and making jazz squares. Everything that was good in the world of 1991. Pastry 2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks or 8 ounces) cold, unsalted butter, diced 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cold milk or ice water 1 egg (to brush on pastry) Brown Sugar Cinnamon Filling (enough for 9 tarts) 1/2 cup (3 3/4 ounces) brown sugar 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, to taste 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour Whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl and pour it into your food processor.

Homemade Nutella
For some people, Nutella -- a smooth chocolate-hazelnut spread found in the peanut butter aisle in most supermarkets -- is a nostalgic childhood treat. But I didn’t taste it until college, when a friend who’d been living in Europe introduced me to it, so I may always think of it as a more sophisticated sweet. The stuff from the jar is pretty darn good, although the fabulous pastry chef Gale Gand taught me how to make it from scratch, and that’s now my favorite version. You can really taste the hazelnuts and feel some of their texture. I’ve been known to eat it with a spoon, as anyone else who’s honest will admit to doing. Note: No longer can you consider yourself safe from temptation just because you mustered the wherewithal to walk on by the Nutella aisle at the grocery store. Ingredients Instructions Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Melt the chocolate in a saucepan over gently simmering water or in the microwave. In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts until they form a paste.
