Ingredients
- 6 pieces Twinkies
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 piece Large egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Chill the Twinkies in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm them up, making them easier to fry.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg until combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth to create the batter.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature.
Step 6
Remove the Twinkies from the freezer. Using tongs or a skewer, dip each Twinkie into the batter, coating it completely.
Step 7
Carefully add the battered Twinkie to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried Twinkie from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process for the remaining Twinkies.
Step 10
Dust the fried Twinkies with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy!
