Ready in: 15 Min
SERVINGS:
Original yield: 16 mini sandwiches

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.
