Deep Fried Twinkes

ThisOleMiss · 09-27-2003, 03:01 PM

Today was the Chef Poulet festival at the local water park. Let's say the highlight of the whole thing was the fried twinkie vendor. I did not know it was possible to fry a twinkie. I had no idea anyone would even want to, but hey, here's how it's done. First you freeze the twinkie solid. Remove twinke from package, insert stick, dip in batter, then deep fry in lard (yes, that was LARD) for about three minutes until golden brown, cover with rasberry sauce and powdered suger and you have a redneck gormet treat.

Not redneck. They originated in NY.

No, this is a quality mental image. It's part of Quality Images' mission creep.

At close to 400 claries and 35 grams of fat, my arteries started to clog just thinking about these things.

Point of order... are NY and redneck really mutually exclusive? I mean, I live in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsyltucky and you don't have to drive far west or north of Philadelphia to be in some very rural areas. Isn't the same true for New York state?

xoxoxoBruce · 09-28-2003, 09:40 PM

Nope, New Yorkers* are not civilized enough to be rednecks.

* NYC and parts of Long Island.

You're right. NYC, the Island, and the bordering suburb counties are lone locuses of civilization. North & west of there, you enter the vast wilderness known as "Upstate". All I really know of Upstate is that I should never go out there without at least ten other people, all fully armed. Communications link is mandatory too.

I first had one of these at our county fair about 3 months ago. Freakin' amazing is about the best description I can come up with. They are wonderful. We have since tried to recreate them with marginal success. Some experimentation with the heat of the oil is still desperately needed...we keep melting the cream in the center...

Try freezing the twinkie before cooking it. That's how japanese people make fried ice cream (tempura ice cream) - somehow they get the batter on there, freeze it, and then flash-fry it right before it's served (mmmmmmmmmmmm....).

Freeze or refrigerate the twinkie so the outside is still a little soft ... then batter and fry.

Just a thought. Next up, deep-fried turkey dogs with marshmellow batter.

I'm not sure about the fried pickle, but the fried cheese curds sound yummy to my tummy. Cheese is good, fried cheese curds sound better

If any of this stuff got any more oil-saturated and high in calories, it would be a spontaneous combustion hazard. Imagine having foods that need to be stored in a red metal cannister with tight lid just to keep from burning your house down.
