Ingredients
- 500 grams squid
- 100 grams gluten-free flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg
- 120 milliliters milk
- 1 medium lemon
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Clean the squid: Rinse the squid under cold water and remove the head and tentacles. Pull out the inner cartilage and discard. Cut the body into 1 cm thick rings. Pat the rings dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C (356°F).
Step 5
Dip the squid rings into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Then dredge them in the flour mixture, making sure each ring is evenly coated.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated squid rings into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried squid rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Slice the lemon into wedges.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried squid rings hot, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
