Cloned Twinkies
A while ago I came across a recipe for making Twinkies at home, yesterday I decided to try it. It appealed to the complicated baker in me.
First I had to make molds for the cakes, which I did out of tin foil. Then I made the batter, which came out just fine, and carefully filled the molds. Baking was no trouble, and they came out perfectly. Then I whipped the filling.
I don't own a pastry gun to get the filling in there, but I have a trick that works just as well. I scooped the flling into a plastic ziplock bag, squeezed out the air, and snipped off a bottom corner. Presto! Instant pastry gun. I filled the cales through the bottoms and had quite a lot of leftover filling. I might try for some filled cupcakes later or something.
Once they were done, I sealed each in a small snack bag. Twinkies! They tasted great, and the boys certainly liked them.
