Project Pinterest - DIY {Not} Toaster Strudels

I've gotta start out by admitting this was a "failed" pin.

Not because the recipe was bad, but because I decided to make my own puff pastry...for which I had no patience or proper ingredients.

What I got instead was a learning experience.

Real Toaster Strudels are worth $0.25 each and you can make jam in the microwave.

My 'toaster strudels' turned out more like a cross between an empanada and a pop tart.

It was still yummy, just not flaky and such.

Original recipe source: BakingBites.com  |  Pinned via myself {the pin I found this through didn't have the original blog link...so I tracked it down.}


To make the jam in the microwave, I threw together about 1 pound of frozen strawberries and 2 tbsp white sugar. Nuke on high for 15 minutes, mash with a potato masher, then when cool add 2 tbsps of corn starch.
This will keep in the fridge for at least two weeks...probably longer and I'm sure you could freeze it.
...or just eat the whole thing with a spoon...




Now it's your turn to show us what you've made!
