Calamari Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Marinating
Pour the buttermilk over the sliced calamari and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Coating the Calamari
Remove the calamari from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge the calamari in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Frying
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry the calamari in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
