Equipment
- Stove
- saucepan
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- toothpicks
- metal strainer with handle to get sandwiches out of oil
Ingredients
- Canola or Vegetable Oil
- Batter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 1 large egg
- Sandwiches
- 4 slices white bread
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- 4 slices turkey lunch meat
- 4 slices ham lunch meat
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Fill a medium size saucepan just over 1/4 full with Canola or Vegetable oil. Heat to 375 degrees F.
- To prepare the batter, place flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl, stirring to combine. Stir in water and egg, mixing until well combined.
- To prepare sandwiches, layer bottom slices of bread with a slice of Swiss cheese, 2 slices of turkey, 2 slices of ham and another slice of Swiss Cheese. Close with top slice of bread then cut into fourths. Place a toothpick in each sandwich slice.
- Coat all sides of sandwich triangle with batter. I used a spoon to help coat both sides, instead of dipping. Carefully place one sandwich at a time in hot oil. Cook each side until golden brown. Remove and place onto a paper towel lined plate to drain oil. Continue until all have been coated.
- Dust warm sandwiches with powdered sugar, cut in half and place onto a serving plate with grapes, a few strawberries and blackberry jam for dipping. Enjoy warm.
