Servings: 12 Donuts
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour
Ingredients
Twinkie Donuts
1/4 cup salted butter, softened
4 large eggs, separated into whites and yolks
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cake flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 teaspoons butter extract
Marshmallow Filling
8 oz marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup milk
1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Donuts: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease the cavities in a donut pan and set aside.
Donuts: In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup cake flour, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Set aside.
Donuts: In a large bowl, beat 4 egg whites until foamy. Add ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Soft peaks will stick up when you remove the mixer, but will flip over on the top (like the top of a Hershey’s kiss).
Donuts: In a medium bowl, beat 4 egg yolks for 1-2 minutes. Add ¼ cup of sugar and beat until the mixture is thick. Fold the egg yolks into the egg whites.
Donuts: In a small bowl, melt ¼ cup of butter in 20 second increments. Set aside to cool. Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the melted butter.
Donuts: Fold the dry ingredients carefully into the mixture within the large bowl. Fold the butter mixture, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and 2 teaspoons butter extract into the large bowl.
Donuts: Fill a piping bag with the batter and pipe into the donut pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Filling: In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of marshmallow fluff, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 cup powdered sugar. You may need to add more powdered sugar if the filling is not thick enough. Fill a piping bag.
Filling: Poke holes in the bottom of each of the donut utilizing a small piping tip. Fill the holes with the marshmallow filling.
Filling: Sift powdered sugar over the filled donuts to complete the look.
Enjoy!
