Ingredients
  

1 cup diced ham

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/4 cup milk

Cooking oil for frying

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until fully combined.

      Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form.

        Gently fold in the diced ham and shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

          On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough just until it's workable (about 1-2 minutes) and shape it into a log approximately 1 inch in diameter.

            Cut the log into 1-inch thick pieces using a sharp knife; this should yield about 12-15 sticks.

              Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sticks in the oil (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).

                Fry each stick for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

                  Remove the sticks from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

                    Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

                      Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 12-15 sticks

                        - Presentation Tips: Serve the ham and cheese sticks on a wooden platter or a rustic serving board, with a small bowl of marinara sauce or your favorite dip on the side for added flavor.
