Editorially simplified adaptation of a Spanish public-domain recipe. Source
Preparation
- Rinse the squid rings cold and dry them very thoroughly with kitchen paper. Wet rings spit in hot oil and will not turn crisp.
- Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pot to 180 °C / 355 °F. Fill the pot no more than halfway. Without a thermometer, a small bread cube should turn golden in about 30 seconds.
- Put flour and salt on a shallow plate. Coat the rings in batches and shake off excess flour.
- Using tongs, lower rings carefully into the oil in two or three batches and fry 1 1/2–2 minutes until pale golden. Do not crowd the pot; the oil temperature must not drop sharply.
- Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and season lightly at once. Never use water to put out hot oil.
- Split the rolls, fill with squid and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
