Twinkie recipe?!
Answers: Does anyone know how to make homemade Twinkies, or something similar to a twinkie that you can make at home.
HOMEMADE TWINKIES
1 yellow cake mix
5 tbsp. flour
1 c. milk
1/2 c. Crisco
1/2 c. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
Bake 1 yellow cake mix in 9 x 13 inch pan. Cool. Split lengthwise (I use a jelly roll pan lined with wax paper and cut cake in half. Wax paper will peel off.)
Cook until thick: 5 tablespoons flour and 1 cup milk, stirring constantly. Cool.
Beat until fluffy: 1/2 cup Crisco, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup sugar.
Stir flour mixture well. Slowly add to sugar. Beat until very fluffy. Use a small, deep bowl.
Put filling between layers of cake and dust with powdered sugar. Refrigerate.

no... but you can go to a store and but then!
Cake:
1 (16-ounce) box golden pound cake mix
4 egg whites
2/3 cup water
Filling:
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
11/3 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 drops lemon extract
Directions:
Note: You will need a spice bottle about the size of a Twinkie, twelve 12 x 14-inch pieces of aluminum foil, a pastry bag and a toothpick. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Fold each piece of foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top open for pouring the batter in. Make twelve of these molds and arrange on a cookie sheet. Grease the inside of each with nonstick spray.
Disregard the directions on the cake mix box. Instead, beat the egg whites until stiff. Combine with cake mix and water, and beat until thoroughly blended (about 2 minutes). Pour batter into molds, filling each about 3/4 inch. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
For the filling, cream the butter and shortening. Slowly add the sugars while beating. Add the evaporated milk, vanilla and lemon extracts. Mix on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
When the cakes are done and cooled, use a toothpick to make three small holes in the bottom of each one. Move the toothpick around the inside of each cake to make room for filling. Using the pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes. Recipe yields 10 "Twinkies".
