Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet Pop-Tarts | Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit
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.’ Check out Claire s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/csaffitz/ Want Bon Appétit shirts, hats and more? https://shop.bonappetit.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_brand=ba&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=video&utm_content=merch-shop-promo Still haven’t subscribed to Bon Appétit on YouTube? ►► http://bit.ly/1TLeyPn Want more Bon Appétit in your life?
