Cook Time 5 minutes. Total Time 20 minutes. Ingredients oz. Transfer the squid to a big bowl with a beaten egg. Stir to mix well. In another big bowl, combine the all purpose flour, cornstarch, salt and cayenne pepper. Working in small batches, drop some squid into the flour mixture. Coat well and transfer the squid out to a strainer. Repeat until all squid are nicely coated with the flour mixture. Gently shake the strainer with squid to remove excess flour. Heat up a skillet with 1-inch oil on high heat.
The perfect temperature to cook the fried calamari is C. Check if your oil is ready by carefully dipping one of the calamari rings in; if it sizzles fiercely the oil is ready. Alternatively you can check by sprinkling just a small pinch of flour in the hot oil. Hot oil can be really dangerous, so use a slooted spoon to carefully place the calamari inside the hot oil. Not overcrowding the pan is vital for crispier results.
If you add too many, the calamari will release water and the temperature of the oil will fall, resulting into not cooking properly. Prepare this delicious Greek fried calamari recipe for your friends and family and serve as a delicious starter or main dish with a last minute squeeze of a lemon.

Hi Maekayla, it all depends on how large your calamari are — usually I bake 1 calamari for 2 people so this recipe would make about depending on how hungry you are.
Hi What kind of flour is used? Will frozen squid rings work for this recipe? Does the squid need to washed? Tasted great but kept losing the breading followed recipe exactly. Want to try again. But disappointed in my breading a little.
Maybe it would have worked better with spiced flour and then a batter. Or maybe egg wash instead of the milk. I added one beaten egg to the milk, worked well.
Plus the excess crispy batter bits that fall off and even the squid less bite are nice and eggy too. Jump to Recipe. Servings: 4. Prep Time: 15 mins. Cook Time: 15 mins. Total Time: 30 mins. Crispy Fried Calamari is a lot easier to make at home than you might think!

Thanks Read More. The Healthy Baker. It was quite floury tasting and a bit rubbery. But, overall would make again. Also stated a lot more oil than needed.
