- Combine flour. salt, pepper and baking powder
- Whisk both mixtures smooth and lump free and refrigerate
- Make sandwiches:
- Spread some mayonnaise on one side of the eight pieces of bread
- Place on on each 4 slices: 2 pieces of salami, 2 pieces of ham, two pieces of turkey, 1 slice of cheese
- Close 2 pieces of bread together so you will have made a sandwich
- With a shape knife cut off crusts -this will companct the cold cut filling inside
- Place the 4 sandwiches on a platter and , close tightly with plastic wrap to further seal and compress sandwiches- this can be done 30 minutes up to a few hours ahead of time
- When ready to prepare, heat oil in a heavy duty fry pan, or an electric fry pan at least an inch in depth at least to 365 F or oil is ready for frying.
- Carefully dip each sandwich into the batter ( stir again when out of the refrigerator ) , coating each side well.
- Carefully slide in hot oil ( I could fit 2 into my heavy duty fry pan ) frying crisp and golden brown on each side, turning once on each side
- Remove to paper toweling to drain
- Repeat with other two sandwiches
- I carefully cut each sandwich half
- Dust sandwiches with powder sugar
- Serve with a little dish of cherry preserves on the side.
