Filipino

Ingredients

1 Pound Squid, cut in rings
1/2 cup Cornstarch, for dredging
BATTER
1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 cup Cornstarch
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder (optional)
1 tsp Onion Powder (optional)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 cup ICE COLD Water
FOR DREDGING
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs or any Dried Breadcrumbs

Directions

Mix all the batter ingredients and refrigerate while the squids are being prepped.
Cut the squid body in 1/4 inch rings and dredge in cornstarch.
Take out the batter mix from the refrigerator and dip the squid rings, then dredge in the breadcrumbs.
Heat up the cooking oil using medium low heat and drop in the squid rings without crowding them in the oil.
Cook until golden brown about 3-4 minutes, then set on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
