and pour into a baking dish. Add the sandwiches and leave to soak for about

bread browns in 30 seconds. Before cooking the sandwiches, squeeze the
edges together again. Carefully place the sandwiches in the oil and deep-fry

draining spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately while still
hot.
