"Everyone has their favorite flavor of Pop-Tart, from the classic frosted brown sugar cinnamon to gooey, melty frosted strawberry to whimsical creations that can only be thought of in the Pop-Tarts universe, like hot fudge sundae and Boston creme donut. While you may think of changing up your routine once in a while by foregoing your usual flavor for something more unique, you may have never thought to elevate this timeless breakfast treat by cooking it differently."
"People who have tried this hack on social media report favorable results with all types of Pop-Tarts, including both frosted and unfrosted varieties. However, the sugar glaze on the frosted Pop-Tarts could burn faster than it cooks, leading to an acrid and unpleasant flavor. As such, you may want to stick to the unfrosted varieties and add your own coating of homemade frosting or powdered sugar to finish it instead. Neutral flavors, like brown sugar cinnamon,"
Pan-frying Pop-Tarts in a buttered pan crisps the edges and lets butter flavor seep into the pastry, creating a richer texture and taste. Neutral oils like avocado can be used, but butter enhances flavor without making the pastry greasy. Frosted varieties risk burning their sugar glaze and developing an acrid taste, so unfrosted Pop-Tarts are preferable; homemade frosting or powdered sugar can be added afterward. Brown sugar cinnamon and other neutral flavors pair best with butteriness, while fruit-filled varieties may clash. Pan-fried Pop-Tarts can also be used as dessert elements, such as ice cream sandwich bases once cooled.
