I need to make ding dong filling for a cake this weekend and the directions say white sugar. I wasn't sure if this was granulated sugar or confectioners/powdered sugar. Does anyone know?

THanks

It is granulated sugar.
One word of advice when making this filling....stir it constantly with a whisk while you are cooking the flour and milk.
I just stirred it occasionally the first time I made it, and it was lumpy. Gross! It was like ding dong filling with little chunks of doughy flour. Ugh!
Everytime I have made it since, I have taken the time to stand there and stir it constantly and it comes out smooth and delicious.

I used Melvira's recipe and it was delicious. I put it in individual cupcakes.

Oh! I'm going to try this. I have a twinkie pan set and recipe from William Sonoma and I'm going to see if this filling tastes good inside the twinkies! Yum! icon_smile.gif

That sounds so good. The other day I made some, but used a recipe I found online for mock Devil Dogs, Ding Dongs, etc. The only thing was that I was a cup of Crisco - no butter. Yuck! I was so disappointed in the way it tasted. Wish I had seen this first. When the cake was eaten with the MMF it wasn't too bad. Sort of hid some of the chemical taste. But I will never use that recipe again. (Used for filling in between my bottom four layers of chocolate cake in my popcorn cake as my s-i-l loves Devil Dogs and the cake was for her birthday).
