The larger the toothpicks the better for this! I use seasoned salt when I made this but white salt is fine!

Time 10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

oil, for deep-frying
2/3 cup water
1 large egg
2/3 cup flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 slices white bread
4 slices swiss cheese
4 slices turkey
4 slices cooked ham
black pepper (I use about 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper)
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat about 5 inches oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees.
  • While the oil is heating prepare the batter; in a medium bowl whisk together the egg and water.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper; whisk into the egg mixture until smooth; set aside and chill.
  • To assemble the sandwiches; place one slice of turkey one one slice of bread, then a slice of ham on an other slice of bread, then "sandwich" them with a slice of Swiss cheese in the middle.
  • Cut the sandwich into quarters then secure with toothpicks.
  • Dip each sandwich quarter into the batter so that all the sides are coated.
  • Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
  • Remove the toothpicks and arrange on a serving tray.
  • Dust with confectioners sugar just before serving.
  • Delicious!
