      Deep-Fried Twinkies Recipe

      by

      By George Geary | Certified Culinary Professional
      The State Fair of Texas was the first to offer this decadent treat.
      Makes 6 Twinkies
      Supplies:
      Dutch Oven
      Candy/Deep fry thermometer
      Skewers (6)
      Baking sheet, lined with parchment paper
      Paper towels
      Ingredients:
      6 Twinkies
      3 cups of all-purpose flour
      3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
      3 teaspoons of baking powder
      1 teaspoon of baking soda
      3/4 teaspoon of sea salt
      1 cup of buttermilk
      1/2 cup of whole milk
      3 large eggs
      3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
      Canola oil
      Confectioner’s sugar
      Directions:
      Skewer each Twinkie and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 2 hours.
      Meanwhile, prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
      In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour into the flour mixture and blend until smooth.
      In a Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of Canola oil over medium heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
      Working two at a time, dip the Twinkies into the batter until fully coated. Place in the hot oil, turning after a few seconds until all sides have reached a light brown color—about 4-6 minutes.
      Drain on paper towels, then dust with confectioner’s sugar.

      Funnel Cake with Berries

      by

      By George Geary | Certified Culinary Professional
      Makes 6 to 10 Funnel Cakes
      Supplies: 
      Electric mixer
      Stockpot
      Medium saucepan
      Candy/deep fry thermometer
      Pastry bag
      Wire rack
      Ingredients:
      Funnel Cakes
      6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
      1 cup of water, cool
      1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
      1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar
      1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
      3 large eggs
      2 large egg whites
      Canola oil
      Confectioner’s sugar
      Berry Topping
      Makes 2 cups
      1 quart of fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
      1/2 cup of granulated sugar
      A pinch of sea salt
      Directions:
      For Funnel Cakes
      Combine butter, water, salt and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour.
      Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes to cook the flour slightly and rid the mixture of a starchy, floury taste.
      Remove the pan from the heat and place the dough in the bowl of the mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until most of the steam has subsided, then add the eggs and egg whites, one at a time, until each is incorporated and a batter is formed.
      Pour 3 inches of oil into a stockpot and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
      Place the batter in a pastry bag that is fitted with a round pastry tip no wider than 1/4 inch in diameter.
      Holding the pastry bag over the hot oil, push the batter out into the hot oil in a zigzag or spiral shape. Fry no more than 1 large or 2 smaller funnel cakes at a time.
      Fry the cakes until puffed up and golden (they will triple in size), 3-5 minutes, flipping every 30 seconds or so.
      Drain the cakes on a rack and cool slightly, then sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and Berry Topping.
      For Berry Topping
      In a bowl, combine berries, sugar, and salt. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
