The sea pampers us with its gifts. And among many seafood, squid can be distinguished. They are healthy, satisfying, tasty and relatively inexpensive. Many seafood can be prepared from these seafood. Not bad squid in batter. The recipe, which allows you to quickly prepare an excellent beer snack, is very simple.
For this dish you will need six carcasses of squid and six eggs. 250 grams of flour, half a bottle of light beer, vegetable oil and salt will also be needed. Carcasses are best taken medium-sized, about 20 centimeters long. Rinse them well, remove the chitin rod and the insides. Then they should be dipped for five minutes in hot water, peeled from the carcasses and again dipped in salted boiling water for two minutes.
After such a “bathing” squid should be allowed to cool and cut into rings. Now it's up to the batter. For him, you need to break the eggs, and separate the yolks and squirrels. Beat the whites into a soft foam. And the yolks are mixed with beer and flour until smooth. Then whipped proteins and salt are added to taste.
And now about how to cook squid in batter. To do this, you need a pan with a thick bottom. It is necessary to heat vegetable oil in it to an average temperature. Then we dip the squid rings into the batter, let it drain and lower it into the pan. Squid pieces must be placed at some distance from each other so that the batter does not stick together. Squids are fried until golden and removed using a slotted spoon.
But this is not the only way to cook squid in batter. There are many such recipes, and all of them differ mainly in ingredients for batter. Here is another one that needs three eggs, three quarters of a glass of flour, one onion, “fish” spices, pepper, salt and squid carcasses themselves. They also need to be rinsed with boiling water, held a little in hot water and pour cold. Then remove the peel, remove the insides and cut into rings or strips.
Next is cooking batter. Onion for it should be finely chopped and mixed with eggs, milk and flour. Then this composition must still be pepper, salt, add the remaining spices to it and mix well. Then dip each piece into batter and fry on both sides. And the less time they fry, the softer the squid in batter will be. This recipe is simple and affordable for everyone.
And here's another way to fry squids in batter. The recipe is similar to previous cooking methods for these seafood. And for batter, you need flour and starch, one third of a glass each, a glass of milk, two egg whites, as well as black pepper and salt. The batter is cooked in a small bowl. It combines starch, flour and milk and mix well. And squirrels need to be pepper, salt and beat until foam. Then they must be added to the flour mass and mix everything until smooth.
The squid fillet itself undergoes standard preparation for frying. That is, they need to be washed, cleaned and boiled in salted boiling water for several minutes. Then the carcasses need to be cut and, dipping each piece into a batter, fry.
Also, squid in batter recipe allows you to cook in fondue. Four servings of this dish will require half a kilogram of squid and cornmeal intended for breading. And for batter you need to take 200 grams of wheat flour, 300 grams of water, two tablespoons of olive oil, two egg whites and salt for taste.
Squids need to be cut into pieces and each breaded in cornmeal. Then we cook batter. To do this, wheat flour must be mixed with salt and with a mixture of olive oil and water. Proteins should be whipped until a stable foam is formed and carefully introduced into the batter with a metal spoon. The oil in the fondue dish is brought to a boil. And the squid pieces, previously moistened in batter, are dipped in it. They should be fried until golden brown. Served with squid such slices of lemon and tartar sauce.
