Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 375° F.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the cassava flour, salt, and baking soda.
Cut in the coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg, water, and maple syrup. Stir just until dough comes together.
Form dough into a ball.
Roll dough out on a cassava floured surface in a 12"x12" rectangle. (I recommend using a ruler to measure and cutting off excess with a pizza cutter to get it nice and square.)
Cut the dough into twelve 3"x4" rectangles with a pizza cutter.
Run a thin spatula underneath the rectangles to make sure they aren't sticking to the counter.
Brush the tops of all the rectangles with beaten egg white.
On half of the rectangles, place a heaping tablespoon of preserves.
Top with the other rectangles, egg white side down against the preserves.
Crimp all the edges with a fork.
Brush the tops with beaten egg white.
Cut 2-3 vents on the top of each pop tart.
For very neat-looking pop tarts, cut off excess dough on the edges of the tarts to create nice straight edges.
Carefully transfer the pop tarts to greased baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
