Whisk wet ingedients into dry and continue mixing until smooth refrigerate while oil heatsPush 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. Place carefully in the oil, the twinkie will float so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browning. It should turn golden brown in 3 to 4 min depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one at a time, two at the most. Remove twinkie to paper towel and let drain. Remove stick and allow twinkie to sit for about 5 minutes before serving. You can put powdered sugar on them while they are hot and then more when they are cooled. You can top them with choclate syrup or carmel or cool whip and strawberries for a deep fried short cake. The toppings are endless...
