I love Montecristo sandwiches(sans powdered sugar)! Disneyland's Blue Bayou Restaurant and the Orleans cafe there both have very good ones. What do you use for your batter?

Here is one I've used:


Original recipe makes 16 mini sandwiches Change Servings

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

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

8 slices white bread

4 slices Swiss cheese

4 slices turkey

4 slices ham

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.

I would also place the sandwiches on a paper towel, before transferring them to a plate.
