    Recipe Introduction


    Makes 6 Servings

    List of Ingredients




    6 Twinkies
    Popsicle sticks
    4 c. vegetable oil
    Flour for dusting
    1 c. milk
    2 tbsp. vinegar
    1 tbsp. oil
    1 c. flour
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    Powered sugar for dipping

    Recipe



    Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.
    Heat 4 c. vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.
    Mix 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.
    Push stick into Twinkie lengthwise, leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle, dust 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. Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
    The secret last step is to dip the Twinkies in powered sugar! Enjoy!


    Variation: Slice Twinkie into 4 pieces. Flour and batter each before frying. With this treatment, one Twinkie will serve two people if accompanied by a sauce.
