sandwich

. It's a sweet sandwich that's breaded and lightly fried and then you serve it with a little more sweetness. Now this sandwich and I'll go back to when. I first met my husband because we were going to a restaurant called Bennigan's and this is what I would get. I love this sandwich, let's make it, it's easy for the sandwich part, you will need regular white bread, deli, turkey, ham. Deli sliced ​​swiss cheese a little bit of mayonnaise for the dough, you're going to need all purpose flour egg white granulated sugar a little bit of salt milk baking powder and then you're just going to need a little bit of cooking oil.

I am using pure canola oil. Well, these sandwiches are great dipped in your favorite gelatin and then you can sprinkle them with a little powdered sugar. The first part we are going to make is the dough. Start, we can put that aside and then we'll start on the next one. process of making the sandwiches, you're just going to need like a pie plate because first you're going to want to be able to put your sandwich in the dough, okay, so you want something a little bit wide and narrow, we're going to add a cup of all-purpose flour two tablespoons of granulated white sugar to make them fluffy, we're going to add two teaspoons of baking powder, we're going to add a quarter teaspoon of salt, we give it a whisk that way.

You can combine everything and then you can aerate the flour. You can also pass this through a sieve if you want to do so. Okay, those are our dry ingredients. Let's put this aside. Bring our wet ingredients. Alright. Let's bring. our wet ingredients I have three quarters of a cup of milk and we're going to add an egg and I'm just going to crack it into a small bowl to make sure it doesn't have any shells and then we're going to add it and beat it together. We're going to bring in the dry ingredients again, we're going to add the milk and the egg to the flour mixture, mix this until we have a nice soft dough, okay, let's start preparing our sandwiches. four pieces of normal white bread.

I have some mayonnaise. Let's go ahead and put mayonnaise on the bread to your liking. This will be the inside of the sandwich. Alright, let's top it with some Swiss cheese. This is Baby. Swiss, I'm going to take a piece of ham, just fold it and put it on the sandwich, oh that smells like ham and it's delicious. I'm going to do the same thing with the turkey and I'll do it the other way around, here we go. I'm going to put an extra piece of ham on two of them and then I'm going to put extra turkey on the other two because that's how my family likes it.

Okay, let's go ahead and top that with some cheese that we've got to have that melty goodness on these sandwiches, okay, we're going to take the bread, we're going to put some mayonnaise on it and then we're just going to top it with the mayonnaise from the sandwich. On to the meat and cheese, here we go. Let's go ahead now and start our frying process. I'm using a very deep frying pan. I'm going to place it over medium-high heat and we're going to add oil to our pan. Yes, it looks good. an inch, I would say take it to 350 degrees.

Okay, there are two different ways you can check the oil to make sure it's up to temperature. You can use a kitchen thermometer. You can also use the edge of a wooden spoon. Just put that in. at the bottom of your pan and if it starts sizzling down there, then it's pretty hot and it's ready. I have my dough back here and it's a little thick. I'll add a little more. milk to thin it out a little bit, it looks like the oil is getting quite hot, so we'll check it and then start coating our sandwiches.

You want to coat them one at a time and then put them in now. Using toothpicks helps hold the sandwich together while you put it in the pan, so I'll stick them on each end. You're looking at 350 degrees on the thermometer while we wait for that, let me show you something. very quickly you want to have foreign food ready. I have a baking sheet, I lined it with aluminum foil and then I just put a rack on it and that way we can put the sandwiches on there and they can drain. here and then it's easy to clean up, we're going to take our sandwich, we're going to dip it in the batter, we're going to turn it over, we're going to cover the other side and then we're going to put it right in the oil, you want to make sure that it's nice and crispy and golden brown for one side before you flip it, just make sure you keep an eye on it, check it out from time to time because it will cook quickly, yeah, because it's just a batter, we're just frying a batter carefully. when you turn them over because you don't want to splatter very gently like that, oh, it looks pretty, I would think about 30 seconds to pick it up and look, oh yeah, nice and golden, make sure you get into your sandwiches take out your toothpicks you don't want anyone he eats them like he takes a plate let me show you how we are going to make this place that on top is good use a serrated knife cut it in half look at that, very delicious Okay, we are just going to stack them on the plate.

Get your powdered sugar. Sprinkle it on your sandwich. Serve it with your favorite gelatin. There's my
