Beer-Battered Spicy Calamares Ingredients

4 cups water
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 kilo calamares sliced into bite-sized rings
1 piece Egg
1 can beer
2 1/2 cups Flour
1 Cup Flour
1 tablespoon Cayenne pepper
1/2 Cup water
Oil for deep-frying

Instructions

In a pot, boil water; add salt and white vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add calamares rings and stir; blanch for no more than a minute. Take calamares out of the pot and drain. Transfer to a bowl.
In a small bowl, beat egg. Add in 1/2 cup water. Pour mixture onto calamares, making sure each piece is coated.
In a large bowl, combine beer and flour. Whisk well. Set aside.
In a plate, put 1 cup flour and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan. Using tongs, pick a piece of calamares, dip into beer batter, dredge in flour-cayenne mixture, and deep fry in oil for about a minute. Do not overcook or the calamares will be tough and rubbery.
Repeat for the rest of the calamares. Drain on paper towel.
Serve with your choice of dip.
