Right, so.

Prior to making those awesome pop-tarts which tempted my roomates to venture over into bad-breakfast-decision-land, I spent two whole sleepless nights researching what I thought would a) triumph over that crap you buy in the cereal aisle that has probably been sitting on the shelf for months and b) be super easy to make and require very few ingredients. The recipe that met both of these requirements is actually not vegan but that is nooooo problem when you are the bees-knees. So here it is, Peabody's Pop-Tart Recipe (veganized by Raven Bees-Knees Price):

Peabody’s Poptarts
pie crust(recipe follows)
good jam(your choice)
Glaze
Sparkling Sugar

Pie Crust
1-1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup vegan margarine
3 tablespoons cold water
Combine flour and salt in bowl. Add shortening and margarine and blend with fork, pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture is fairly coarse. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, gently mixing dough after each addition until dough forms a ball. (Dough can also be prepared in food processor. Use the pulse button just until it starts to pull away from the sides. Be very careful not to overwork the dough.) Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a square/rectangle. Cut out long strips about 2 inches wide, and 3 inches long. Repeat till you run out of dough.
Glaze:
1 cup powder sugar
soy milk to thin
Place powdered sugar in bowl. Pour milk slowly until it has a consistancy of really thick syrup.

Assemble: Take one pie crust rectangle, fill with a tsp of jam. Cover with another piece of pie crust. Crimpe all four edges. Repeat until you run out of pie crust. Bake at 450F for about 7-8 minutes or until slightly brown. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, pour glaze on to Poptart and decorate iwth sparkling sugar.
