I agree with you on this, I don't think a homemade batter would freeze well, and will probably fall apart as soon as you put in the deep fryer. The fairs are probably factory made with preservatives and other nasties that they can freeze it.
I would however make sure the twinkies are good and chilled, maybe even throwing them in the freezer for 15 minutes, not frozen solid but good and cold. I tried them at room temperature and the twinkies got greasey and the filling all melted. :'( but I didn't have a recipe i winged it after seeing it on the food channel.

I fry with Peanut oil. It's about $6 a gal. (Vegitable oil is about $1.50 a gal). Peanut oil is much better, and IMHO, worth it.
You'll need 5 gallons to do a decent sized bird.
I don't know why you'd want to do 2 birds? I can get a 20lb + turkey easily into my fryer. That's more than enough for our dinner.
And yes, it is everything you've heard. It tastes amazing, I inject marinades into the turkey and it's great. Cajun is ny favorite. Mesquite is also a nice flavor.
It can make a mess (oil bubbles over, 5 gallons of oil to deal with, large pots to clean, but it's worht it. ) I'll fry up a turkey about 2-3 times a year.
;D ;D ;D ;D

That is a crusty lookin' little pink bird in da pot, without a doubt.
drewstar, I promise you, the carnie folk had the battered and skewered Twinkie in the freezer. When I order it, they pull it out, take the Saran wrap off, and drop it in the oil. 5 minutes later, it's like an orgasm on a paper plate!
