INGREDIENTS
* 1 quart oil for frying, or as needed
* 2/3 cup water
* 1 egg
* 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 8 slices white bread
* 4 slices Swiss cheese
* 4 slices turkey
* 4 slices ham
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting
DIRECTIONS
* Heat 5 inches of oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). While oil is heating, make 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 in the refrigerator.
* Assemble sandwiches by placing one slice of turkey on one slice of bread, a slice of ham on another, then sandwich them with the Swiss cheese in the middle. Cut sandwiches into quarters, and secure with toothpicks.
* Dip each sandwich quarter in the batter so that all sides are coated. Deep fry in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove toothpicks and arrange on a serving tray. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
