How to Make Whoopie Pies Or Devil Dogs

  1. **Whoopie Pies:**
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) Crisco, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  8. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. **Fluffy Filling:**
  11. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine ¼ cup milk, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt.
  12. Shake vigorously until well combined.
  13. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  14. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  15. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) Crisco, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  16. Add the cooled milk mixture and beat for another 5 minutes until well combined.
  17. Increase mixer speed to high and beat for another 2-3 minutes, until the filling is incredibly light and fluffy.
  18. Once the whoopie pies are completely cool, fill each one with a generous spoonful of filling.
  19. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for later or enjoy immediately!
