Preparation

Twinkie Preparation

1. Prepare the Twinkies

Remove the Twinkies from their packaging and set them aside. You can also freeze them for about an hour to help them maintain their shape during frying.

Batter Preparation

2. Make the batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.

3. Add wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Frying the Twinkies

4. Heat the oil

In a deep frying pan or large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. Dip the Twinkies

Carefully dip each Twinkie into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

6. Fry the Twinkies

Once the oil is hot, gently place the batter-coated Twinkies into the oil, frying them in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

7. Drain and cool

Use a slotted spoon to remove the Twinkies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serving

8. Dust and drizzle

Once the Twinkies have cooled slightly, dust them generously with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.

9. Enjoy!

Serve the deep-fried Twinkies warm and enjoy your delicious treat!
