5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup sour milk or buttermilk*
1 tsp vanilla
Combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Cream shortening and sugar; add eggs, bananas, milk and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix well. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a ungreased cookie sheet...2 1/2" apart. Bake 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks. *If you don't have buttermilk, take a 1/2 cup milk and add 1 tsp. vinegar...sour milk.
Filling
2 tsp vanilla
4 TBL flour
4 TBL milk
4 cups confectioners sugar
1-1/2 cups shortening(plain...not butter flavored)
Combine all ingredients and beat very hard for several minutes on high speed.
Once cookies are cooled, take 1 and spread a generous amount of filling on it and place another cookie on top. Wrap immediately in plastic wrap...this gives it the whoopie pie moistness.
I admit...I have tried making whoopie pies several times and they have failed. I usually have problems with them flattening out in the oven. To avoid this...here are a few tips:
1. Make sure your oven is preheated.
2. Make sure you are using fresh baking powder and baking soda.
3. If you feel the recipe is too runny, you may add more flour. Be careful how much you add...has a tendency to change the texture and make them dry and not moist.
