How to Make Deep Fried Twinkie
- Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep fryer to 375-385°F (190-196°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients until just moistened. Do not overmix.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for at least 20 minutes (this helps the coating adhere better).
- Insert a wooden skewer or lollipop stick into one end of each Twinkie.
- Lightly dust the Twinkies with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip each Twinkie into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered Twinkies into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust frying time depending on the size of your Twinkies and your fryer.
- Remove the Twinkies from the fryer and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Let them cool slightly (about 2-3 minutes) before serving. Enjoy immediately!
