Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Twinkies
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 0.25 cups Maple Syrup (optional)
Instructions
Unwrap the Twinkies and set them aside on a plate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
Dip each Twinkie into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated, but do not soak for too long to avoid breaking them apart.
Place the coated Twinkies in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the Twinkies for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crisped. Add additional butter as needed between batches.
Remove the cooked Twinkies from the skillet and place them on a serving plate.
Dust the French-toasted Twinkies with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired, for an extra indulgent finish.
