Join pastry chef Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet Pop-Tarts.
But where do Pop-Tarts come from? Pop-Tarts (scilis erumpant) may be a childhood favorite of many, but their history long predates everybody who enjoys them today. First discovered by the ancient Kellogians around 300 BC (and not cooked -- or toasted -- over flame until 100 BC), they were originally found in nature in four distinct forms: apple currant jelly, strawberry, blueberry and brown sugar-cinnamon. Throughout the following centuries, the Kellogian empire would grow and flourish largely due to the cultivation and trade of Pop-Tarts. Today, Pop-Tarts are available in 30 different forms and the Kellogg empire lives on. For more reading, see: ‘The Kellogg Empire: 600-100 BC’, ‘The Search for the First Pop-Tart’ and ‘How to Legally Grow Your Own Pop-Tarts.’

    The fact that Chris stores away bits of pastry for his afternoon snack just makes me love him so much more🥺

    They really were like "Claire, you GOTTA tell them how happy you are this time, they keep making death threats or like demanding we pay for your vacation"
  • @Emma-vc8lt
    The character development! Chris squirrels away pastries for his afternoon snack! Truly my favourite workplace sitcom currently airing.
  • This is the perfect quarantine binge, she could literally make toast at 40 mins and I’d be invested
  • @hannaro
    The way she says “Delaney” after he asks if you can temper frosting. I don’t even have words for how awesome that was.
