10 Hostess Twinkies
Extra flour
Powdered sugar

For the batter
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
12 ounces water

For a four-berry coulis topping
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup frozen blackberries
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
4 tablespoons granulated sugar

To fry Twinkies: Cool Twinkies in refrigerator.

Mix batter ingredients to the consistency of custard. Roll each Twinkie in extra flour and then roll in batter. Drop the battered Twinkie into a deep fryer for about 90 seconds, just until the cream filling is starting to melt and the outside is golden brown. Top with powdered sugar; cut in half and serve with four berry coulis.

To make the coulis: Place berries in a pan on low heat and add sugar. When mixture begins to boil, place in blender and blend until it turns to liquid. Strain mixture through a sieve to remove pulp.
