Feast your eyes on this gorgeous homemade Twinkie! Just look at that golden sponge and creamy filling. Who could resist?
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Twinkie pan or a muffin tin if you don’t have a Twinkie pan. This is crucial; we gotta make sure our goodies don’t stick!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter using an electric mixer until it’s creamy. Add the eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and combined.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, mixing well until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; we want our Twinkies to stay fluffy!
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each compartment of the Twinkie pan about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once they’re done, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When your Twinkies are cool, fill each one with marshmallow fluff. You can use a piping bag with a large star tip to make it fancy!
- Finally, dust the tops with powdered sugar to finish it off and give them that classic look.
Now that you’ve made these scrumptious homemade Twinkies, you can enjoy them with your friends or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here! These little treats are perfect for any occasion, and I promise they’ll be a hit. Go ahead, take a bite!
