Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. Slice frozen butter into small cubes and mix with flour, sugar, and salt until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually blend in ice-cold water and vinegar until clumps form. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Make the Filling
  1. Cook diced strawberries and rhubarb with sugar and lemon juice over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Assemble the Tarts
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one dough disk to 1/8-inch thick, cut into rectangles. Place half on a parchment-lined baking sheet, add filling, and top with remaining rectangles, sealing edges.
Bake the Pop Tarts
  1. Brush tops with beaten egg, cut slits for steam. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Add Finishing Touches
  1. Prepare a glaze with powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over cooled pop tarts if desired.
