Deep-Fried Twinkies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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

Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight. Heat 4 cups vegetable
oil in deep fryer to about 375 F. 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 Twinkie 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. 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.Remove Twinkie to paper towel and let drain.
Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
Makes 6.

Variation: For best results, dust Twinkies with powered sugar and chocolate
sprinkles.
