Ingredients
Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup soda water
1 egg
2 slices white pullman bread
1 slice Swiss cheese
2 ounces black forest ham, sliced thin
2 ounces deli turkey, sliced thin
1 slice American cheese
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Raspberry preserves, for serving
Directions
- Fill a Dutch oven 3/4-inch deep with peanut oil and bring to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk together flour, soda water and egg until combined, then set aside.
- Place one piece of the bread on a prep surface and add the Swiss cheese, then ham.
- On the second piece of bread place the turkey, then American cheese.
- Sandwich together, making sure that all the fillings aren't sticking out, to prevent burning.
- Dip sandwich in batter, being sure to coat it completely, then drop into oil. Cook until golden brown, for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Remove and let drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar, then cut sandwich into quarters and serve with a side of raspberry preserves.
