Deep fried twinkies/twiggies



Deep fried twinkies is a carnival food and a sight not to be missed in the excitement of carnival. You'll come across atleast one or more food vendors selling soft and crispy deep fried twinkies dusted with confectioner's sugar,chocolate sauce or berry sauce.

Twinkies or twiggies as known in Malaysia, is a cream filled spongy mini cakes which can be found in most grocery stores and it comes in vanilla and chocolate flavor. I used chocolate flavored twiggies for my recipe and i'm sure vanilla flavored twiggies will be great too. If you are short of milk you can simply replace them with chilled water but of course the milk give a rich and creamy flavor to the fried twiggies. The spongy cream filled mini cakes in the inside and crispy golden batter is definitely worth a carnival food to enjoy.
