Just Jack Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 I had a deep fried Snickers last year here in Syracuse at the State Fair. Interesting, but nothing I would be craving for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Go to Scotland(or Las Vegas) and get one deep fried 683205[/snapback] Mrs Rock and me saw them in China Town, NYC (but did not partake). Here is a recipe: Deep-Fried Twinkies From Good Morning America and Janet K. Keeler, St. Petersburg Times food editor 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 Directions 1. Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight. 2. Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees. 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 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. 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 before serving. Makes 6. Note: I love that... You start with 6 Twinkies and the recipe makes 6 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I've got a Twinkie Retatta recipe that kicks ass...unfortunately, it's too time-consuming to prepare often. First, you have to boil water.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I've got a Twinkie Retatta recipe that kicks ass...unfortunately, it's too time-consuming to prepare often. First, you have to boil water.... 683403[/snapback] Who had eball and 9:22 AM on May 4 for the first Retatta reference on this thread? Actually, I had a deep fried Twinkie at the Cuyahoga County Fair last summer...it was really good. I have an affinity for deep fried food that unfortunately, my wife (the lovely and talented Kimberly) does not share. If I ever find the chocolate covered Twinkies I saw on "Unwrapped" last fall, it's all over. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
