Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Calamari

Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2

Make the Coating

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

3

Soak the Calamari

Dip the calamari rings into the buttermilk, ensuring they are fully coated.

4

Coat the Calamari

Remove the calamari from the buttermilk and dredge them in the flour mixture until well coated.

5

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

6

Fry the Calamari

Carefully place the coated calamari rings in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.

7

Drain and Serve

Remove the fried calamari from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve in a cone with lemon wedges, chopped parsley, and marinara sauce on the side.
