These colorful matcha pop tarts require some time to prepare but are definitely worth it! They are extremely delicious and completely gluten-free with a wonderful addition of matcha powder which gives its unique green tea flavor we all love so much.
The recipe itself is really not that complicated although it might take some practice especially for those who are not used to working with dough. This is why it’s really useful to use your food processor to do the job for you.
When you add the butter to the flour mixture, make sure to process until the mixture is completely incorporated and starts to crumble. This will create a sticky mixture that will allow you to work with the dough later.
When working with the dough, you’ll probably have to repeat the process of kneading and rolling out several times (this way, you’ll transform any dough leftovers into these fantastic matcha pop tarts).
Make sure to keep the prepared tarts in the refrigerator while you’re working on the next batch. The dough is based on butter which melts quite easily which can make things more difficult.
Finally, fill these lovely tarts with your favorite jam and optionally add some finely chopped nuts and bake until slightly golden brown (you will have to keep an eye on this because the green matcha tone can easily trick you and you don’t wish to end up burning them).
