Fried Twinkies

6 twinkies
popsicle sticks
4 cups vegetable oil
flour for dusting or powder sugar
1 cup of milk
2 tbl vinegar
1 tbls oil
1 cup of flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or over night. Heat 4 cups of 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 Twinkies lengthwise leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle. Dust with flour and dip into the batter, rotate Twinkies until batter covers entire cake. Place carefully in the oil, the Twinkies will float so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browning. It should turn golden brown in 3 to 4 min depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one at a time, two at the most. Remove Twinkies to paper towel and let drain. Remove stick and allow Twinkies to sit for about 5 minutes before serving. You can put powdered sugar on them while they are hot and then more when they are cooled. You can top them with chocolate syrup or caramel or cool whip and strawberries for a deep fried short cake. The toppings are endless...

Here is the Fried Twinkies fresh out of the oil and covered in powdered sugar.

Plus you can cut up one Twinkie into four pieces and then batter them individually so you serve them to kids or to even adults because it is very sweet and rich. So yummy... Gotta try it at least once! Next on the list is to fry ... Snickers and Milky Way candy bars... Mmmmmmm!
