Enjoy a delightful plate of crispy golden fried calamari, perfect as an appetizer or snack.
Prepare the calamari by cleaning and slicing it into rings.
Ensure the calamari is thoroughly dried to help the batter stick better.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps in the batter.
Gradually whisk in the sparkling water until a smooth batter forms.
Use cold sparkling water to keep the batter light and airy.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for even frying.
Dip the calamari rings into the batter, letting the excess drip off, then carefully place them into the hot oil.
Fry in small batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure crispiness.
Fry the calamari for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.
Turn the calamari occasionally for even browning.
Serve the calamari on a plate with lemon wedges on the side.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
