Chef's Notes
Listen closely, my ambitious apprentices, for achieving ultimate crunch without rubbery texture is an art form! Patting the squid completely dry and scoring it creates surface area for the batter to grip tightly, preventing steam pockets that lead to sogginess.
Pro Tip
Behold the majesty of the double-fry method! Do not skip the temperature resets. Frying at a lower heat first cooks the interior gently, while the second screaming-hot bath seals the deal with an invincible, shatteringly crisp crust.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Do not commit the cardinal sin of throwing wet squid straight into the batter unless you enjoy boiling sea-creatures in a watery soup, and for the love of culinary decency, do not overcrowd your fryer or you will end up with a soggy, rubbery tragedy that even your hungriest dog will suspiciously eye and walk away from.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Royal Jester says: 'I tried making this, but the squid was so fast I had to hire a bodyguard just to get it into the frying pan!'
The Culinary Science
Let us marvel at food science! The baking powder in our batter releases carbon dioxide bubbles upon hitting the hot oil, creating microscopic pockets of air that result in a lighter, crisper batter rather than a dense, heavy shell.
