Description
Probably one of the most infamous – or obscure – snacks in the world! Originally created by ‘George Newman’ (‘Weird Al’ Yankovic) in the movie ‘UHF’ – it has gained an almost cult-like following (as has the movie itself)!
Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 4 cream-filled sponge snack cakes (such as Twinkies™)
- 4 (4 inch) squirts of pressurized canned cheese (such as Easy Cheese™), or to taste
Instructions
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add hot dogs
- and boil until thoroughly hot
- about 5 minutes; drain and keep warm.
- Meanwhile
- unwrap the snack cakes
- and place onto a cutting board
- upside-down. Cut halfway through the bottoms of the snack cakes with a small
- serrated knife to create “buns” for the hot dogs.
- Blot the hot dogs with a paper towel to remove excess water and place a hot dog inside each “bun”. Remove the protective top from the can of cheese
- and hold the nozzle close to
- but not touching
- the exposed side of the hot dog. Dispense cheese by decisively pressing the nozzle towards the hot dog and slowly drawing the tip along the hot dog in a straight line
- or decorative pattern of your choice.
