Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Twinkies
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups Frozen mixed berries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by placing the Twinkies in the freezer for at least 2 hours. This helps them keep their shape while frying.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk and egg to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the frozen mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture begins to thicken, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smooth sauce. Set aside the berry sauce to cool slightly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct frying temperature.
Dip each frozen Twinkie into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil using tongs. Fry 1-2 Twinkies at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per Twinkie.
Remove the fried Twinkies from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Transfer the Twinkies to a serving plate, drizzle with the berry sauce, and dust with powdered sugar for a final touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your deep-fried Twinkies with berry sauce!
