Ingredients
Fried Calamari
Preparation and Cooking
1. Prepare the Calamari
Clean the calamari by removing the head and innards. Cut the body into rings and set aside.
2. Make the Breading
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
3. Soak in Buttermilk
Place the calamari rings in a separate bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them soak for about 30 minutes.
4. Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
5. Coat and Fry
Remove the calamari from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge the rings in the flour mixture until evenly coated. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve
Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
