Directions

* 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 ½-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.
