Deep Fried Twinkies

For the Twinkies
6 Hostess Twinkies
wooden popsicle sticks
4 cups vegetable oil
flour, for dusting

For the batter
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.
2. Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.
3. To make batter: Mix together milk, vinegar, and oil.
4. In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth.
6. Refrigerate while oil heats.
7. Push stick into Twinkie lengthwise, leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle, dust with flour and dip into the batter.
8. Rotate Twinkie until batter covers entire cake.
9. Place carefully in hot oil.
10. The Twinkie will float, so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browning.

If any of you have a sweet tooth, these are OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! I have had several here in Alamogordo, NM. They are catchng on all over now. Also the deep fried candy bars are doing well. I haven't tried one of those, but the Twinkies? WOW!!!!!!!! ;D

Thanks, I found it yesterday when I was searching for the recipe for the batter, but I think my girlfriend really enjoyed it, and will probably be posting whatever recipes she hears of
