Method
Preparation
Prepare the Calamari
Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Mix the Coating
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Calamari
Toss the calamari rings in the flour mixture until well-coated.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Fry the Calamari
Carefully add the coated calamari rings to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
