DEEP-FRIED TWINKIES

INGREDIENTS:
6 Twinkies
Popsicle sticks
4 cups vegetable oil
Flour for dusting
1 Cup milk
2 Tablespoons vinegar
1 Tablespoon oil
1 Cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Icing sugar to taste

PREPARATION:
1. Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.
2. Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep-fryer to about 375 degrees Farenheit.
3. 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. Refrigerate while oil heats.
6. Push sticks into Twinkies 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.
7. 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.
8. Remove Twinkie to paper towel and let drain. Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for about 5 minutes, and dust with icing sugar if desired before serving.

They are not expected to go anywhere right away. Hostess filed bankruptcy 7 years ago also.

I am going out now to buy a package of twinkies.

Twinkies were 'soul food' for the boomer generation - and used to be s-o-o-o-o good. That was my grandfather's treat to me.
Unfortunately, the last one I had a few years ago tasted like it was a left over from a chemical factory test tube

Was never a fan of "Twinkles", as my mother called them, but not sure what I'll do without HoHo's to sabotage my weight loss program. And no more Hostess lemon pies???? The apocalypse is upon us!

Hostess goes bankrupt. Hmmm, show me a picture of the owner's house, then I'll be able to process my sympathy a little easier.
