Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Prepare the Sandwich Filling: Spread Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam evenly on 3 slices of White Bread. Top with the remaining 3 slices to create 6 sandwiches.
Cut the Sandwiches: Using a 2-inch cookie cutter or knife, cut each sandwich into 2 bite-sized squares or circles. You should have 12 pieces.
Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together All-Purpose Flour, Cornstarch, Milk, Egg, Baking Powder, and Salt until smooth.
Heat the Oil: Pour Vegetable Oil into a deep fryer or large pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Bites: Dip each PB&J piece into the Batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully lower the battered bites into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry until Golden: Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
