Steps:
- 1. Freeze Twinkies several hours or overnight.
- 2. Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375F.
- 3. For batter, mix together milk, vinegar and oil.
- 4. In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth. Refrigerate while oil heats.
- 5. Push stick into Twinkie lengthwise, leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle. Dust with flour and dip into the batter. Rotate Twinkie until batter covers entire cake.
- 6. Place carefully in hot oil. The Twinkie will float, so hold it under oil with a utensil to ensure even browning. It should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one at a time.
- 7. Remove the Twinkie and place on paper towel to drain. Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for about five minutes before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- 8. For berry sauce, heat preserves over low heat until melted. Add fresh or frozen mixed berries. Heat until sauce simmers. Cover and refrigerate until served.
