Deep Fried Twinkies

It is State Fair time here and all the news stories are about foods on sticks and unusual things Deep Fried. The one about the Twinkies really caught my eye, go figure. My healthnut of a daughter is planning a reconnaissance mission some night to make the Fryer disappear. She is going to live to be 100+. I’m going to check out a little earlier having eaten things like this. Besides, how hard can this be to recreate at home? It was so easy. We just bought our first ever Deep Fryer a few months ago and have been tossing things in it ever since. I found a recipe on the Internet and also discovered a few secrets. Secret #1 is to freeze the Twinkies the night before. Secret #2 is put it on a stick. I did the first one but I didnt have any skewer sticks and figured no big deal. It would definitely have come in handy. Just make a simple batter and roll frozen Twinkie around in that. Heat oil to 375 and fry for 2 minutes. Granted the whole time they are bobbing about in the oil and you have to keep pushing them down and rolling them for even frying which is why the stick would have made things easier. Remove from oil and let cool for 5 minutes. That last step was the hardest, having to wait 5 minutes for it to cool! And then eat. OMG! This is sooooooooooo good. I tripped over a recipe for Deep Fried Oreo’s. Note to self: pick up cookies next time at store!
