MAINE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes using the paddle attachment until light. Add egg and vanilla, then beat again, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture with the buttermilk, beating after each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl, just until combined.
• Use a small to medium cookie scoop to drop batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. If you want 8 really large whoopie pies, you should do 16 scoops of batter. For more reasonably sized whoopie pies, do 20 to 24 scoops of batter to make 10-12 whoopie pies.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until just done around the edges and the tops bounce back when lightly touched. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Combine the shortening and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat well using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth. Add marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, then beat again, scraping the sides of the bowl so everything gets evenly combined.
• Pipe a generous amount of frosting onto the flat bottom of one cookie, then top with another cookie to make a whoopie pie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

• Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa. Add to mixture 1 cup at a time, blending well at low speed. Batter will be very thin but do not worry. Drop by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and transfer onto waxed paper.
• To make the filling, place flour into saucepan and slowly add milk, stirring until smooth. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring until very thick. Mixture should become as thick as solid vegetable shortening. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. In a medium bowl, cream together sugar, butter, shortening, and vanilla using a handheld electric mixer. Add the cooled flour mixture and whip until fluffy. Spread onto bottom side of cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.

THE ORIGINAL WHOOPIE PIE (GOB CAKE)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray. I like to line my sheets with parchment paper, but it isn't necessary. It helps save time with clean up. NOTE: I doubled the recipe when posting this. Just and fyi as you browse throught the photos and notice 4 eggs, etc.
• 2. Start by prepping the first step of icing. In a saucepan, add milk and flour. Heat on low heat. Stir constantly until mixture becomes pasty. Cooking time takes approximately 10 minutes. You must stir constantly as it cooks to prevent mixture from becoming lumpy. When done, remove from heat & transfer to a bowl. Put in refrigerator to cool completely while you prep the cake tops and bottoms, about one hour. Do not cover, or if you must, cover lightly to prevent condensation from forming. We will finish the icing last.
• 3. You will need 3 mixing bowls to make cake mixture. In first bowl, combine sugar, Crisco, & eggs. Cream together.
• 4. In the second bowl, combine Sour Milk, Boiling water, salt, cocoa, and vanilla. Mix well until cocoa is dissolved completely into liquid. (To make sour milk, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 Cup of milk, stir and allow to sit for a few minutes.)
• 5. In the third bowl combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda, mix well.
• 6. Next, add the cocoa liquid mixture to sugar cream and mix well on low speed of mixer. gradually add flour mixture. Mix batter until all is blended well.
• 7. Drop batter onto cookie sheets, approximately 1/8 of a cup. I use a cookie scoop or small cupcake batter scoop. Bake in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Toothpick inserted in middle of cake will come out clean when done. Remove from cookie sheet & place on cooling rack, allow to cool completely.
• 8. Complete icing: In mixer, add Crisco, soft butter, vanilla & salt. Cream together. Add flour/milk mixture, & mix on low speed, gradually add powdered sugar until well blended. Place in refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
• 9. Put together your Whoopie Pie! I like to use a pastry bag, and pipe my icing onto one cake, flat side, then top with another. It saves time and a big mess! Refrigerate for approximately one hour before serving. Keep refrigerated or in freezer. Makes an awesome midnight snack! :)
