03 -

04 -
3 slices of Swiss cheese

07 -
½ teaspoon salt (kosher preferred)
08 -
2 large eggs, already whisked
09 -
Vegetable or canola oil for frying
10 -
2⅔ cups of water
11 -
3 cups (375g) of all-purpose flour
12 -
½ cup (62.5g) of powdered sugar
→ Dipping Sauce
13 -
Red raspberry jam or preserves
14 -
Honey mustard (totally optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Stack slices like this: bread, turkey, Swiss cheese, bread, ham, cheddar cheese, and another slice of bread. Cut the sandwich into triangles, cover it with plastic wrap, and pop it into the fridge for 2-3 hours to cool.
02 -
Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in one bowl. In a different bowl, whisk eggs with water, then pour that into the dry mix, stirring until everything’s smooth.
03 -
In a big pot, heat up about 2 inches of oil until it’s somewhere between 325°F and 350°F.
04 -
Take one sandwich half at a time, dunk it in the batter, and fry it in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes until it looks golden. Set it on paper towels to drip off the extra oil.
05 -
Sprinkle some powdered sugar over the sandwiches and serve them alongside raspberry jam or honey mustard if you want.
# Notes:
01 -
If you want to make it easier, pancake batter from the store can work!
02 -
Cooling the sandwich helps keep it from falling apart when you cook it in the oil.
