Shut the front door! is what I said when I saw these deep fried ding dongs. I thought this was only something you saw at state fairs! But oh no, our friends over at Dunkin Home Cooking the Semi-Homemade Way have gone and done it. They have made them at home. And though my hips and thighs doth protest too much at the thought of eating these my brainstem is telling me to go for it.
Deep Fried Ding Dongs
Submitted to Foodista by Dunkin Home Cooking the Semi-Homemade Way
4 Ding Dongs (freeze for 3 hours)
1 cup Krusteaz Belgian Waffle Mix
1 Egg
3 Tbs. Oil
3/4 cup Cold Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla
In a mixing bowl combine the pancake mix, oil, egg, water and vanilla until smooth. Unwrap 1 ring ding at a time and cover in the batter. Deep fry at 360 degrees for 1 minute, make sure to carefully turn the ding dong over after 30 seconds. Once done cooking remove to a cookie sheet lined with paper towel to drain. Cook each remaining ding dong in the same fashion, once all are cooked and drained serve them while they are still warm and crispy.
