Ingredients

• 6 pieces Twinkies
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
• 0.25 cups Maple Syrup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Unwrap the Twinkies and set them aside on a plate.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.

Step 4

Dip each Twinkie into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated, but do not soak for too long to avoid breaking them apart.

Step 5

Place the coated Twinkies in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Cook the Twinkies for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crisped. Add additional butter as needed between batches.

Step 7

Remove the cooked Twinkies from the skillet and place them on a serving plate.

Step 8

Dust the French-toasted Twinkies with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Step 9

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired, for an extra indulgent finish.
