Homemade Twinkies

Homemade Twinkies

An Amish woman in Oklahoma shares with us a recipe for homemade Twinkies!  Ah, Heaven.  I haven't eaten a real Twinkie in a long, long, long time  (I'm perfectly capable of becoming overweight without eating them, thank you).  But a homemade Twinkie?  Now that is intriguing!

Personally I did not miss Twinkies too much when they disappeared from store shelves for awhile back in 2013.  A regional brand, TastyKakes, quickly filled the void around here.  Not that I bought TastyKakes any more than I ever bought Twinkies.  I think Hostess came out with a "healthy Twinkie" back in the "Fat free" craze days, but the it was so small that you could pop it into your mouth in one bite.  Not much of a snack.  This homemade recipe is more my speed!

As is typical with many Amish recipes instructions on this recipe are a little bare and spare, but if you can figure them out I think you'll have an awesome dessert!  There is no baking time given in the version that I have so you'll have to monitor it carefully.
