BATTER

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons vinegar

1 tablespoon oil

1 cup flour (mix to consistency)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Freeze the twinkies for at least 2 hours.

Heat your oil in fryer to 375 degrees.

Mix your batter as such: milk, vinegar,oil.

In another bowl blend flour, baking powder and salt.

dust with flour and dip into batter be sure batter covers the entire twinkie place twinkie in hot oil with utensil being sure the twinkie browns evenly (the twinkie will float) about 3- 4 minutes.

Refried beans Dried package of taco seasoning sourcream taco sauce diced tomatoes balck olives shredded lettuce shredded cheddar cheese Mix some of the taco seasoning into the refried beans until you find the spice you like Layer beans onto a tray and pop in the microwave to get warm Top and layer on all the other ingredients to how you like it. I personally like to do the sourcream first along with a little taco sauce, then the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and then leave the olives for last. You can also subsitute ground beef or chicken for the beans or add them in besides the beans. You can also do this with a can of chili with or without beans.
