Crispy Buttermilk Calamari
Ingredients
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pound squid, cleaned and cut into 1/2 inch rings
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking vessel, whether it's a saucepan or deep-fryer, to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
2
Mix buttermilk in a medium-sized container. In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and oregano.
3
Submerge squid rings into the buttermilk first, followed by a coating of the seasoned flour mixture.
4
Carefully place the coated squid pieces into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring they are fully submerged and turning occasionally to guarantee even cooking.
5
Once the squid is evenly browned, remove it from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess moisture.
6
Repeat this process with the remaining squid pieces, and then serve them hot immediately.
