I don't have a picture of this one...we did these at a friend's house this summer with her kids. She was having a swim birthday party for her daughter and she wanted me to come help her. When she pulled a tray of frozen Twinkies out of the freezer and told me we were going to fry them I was sure she was suffering from heat stoke. But these things turned out WONDERFUL!!! And the kids loved it!!!!
Fried Twinkies
Ingredients:
1 C. milk
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1 Tbsp. oil
1 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Twinkies
Popsicle sticks
4 C. vegetable oil for frying
The day before: Unwrap the Twinkies and stick the Popsicle sticks into them; sticking the stick over half way in like you would for a corndog. Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and put them in the freezer over night.
Preparation:
Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.
Prepare batter by mixing together milk, vinegar and oil.
In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt.
Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth. Refrigerate while oil heats.
Dust Twinkie with flour and dip into the batter. Rotate Twinkie until batter covers entire cake. Place carefully in hot oil. The Twinkie will float, so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browning. It should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one at a time, two at the most.
Remove Twinkie to paper towel and let drain. Let the Twinkie sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
