Sent by: Mary Ash
Serving Size: 30
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 whole-wheat bread slices
1/2 pound ham
16 ounces pineapple chunks in juice canned
oil
* You will need 30 three or four-inch wooden picks for this recipe.
1. Fit the steel knife into the work bowl of a food processor.
Combine flour, orange juice, mustard, baking powder, salt and pepper in
the bowl. Process for 10 seconds, until well mixed. Pour batter into a
deep bowl.
2. Cut bread and ham into 1/2-inch cubes. Place a cube of bread, a
cube of pineapple and a cube of ham on a wooden pick. Repeat to make 30
appetizers.
3. Pour oil into a large deep skillet to a depth of 2 inches. Heat
oil to 325 degrees. Dip each appetizer into batter to coat completely.
Carefully lower wooden picks into hot oil. Deep-fry for 5 minutes or
until golden brown on all sides. Use tongs to remove and drain on paper
towels. Serve warm.
