Ingredients




6 Squid, cleaned and bodies cut into rings
150 mls Single cream, (5fl oz)
3 Egg yolks
2 tablespoons Freshly grated parmesan
2 tablespoons Plain flour
1 Garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Oil for deep-frying
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1 Pour the cream into a large bowl and set in the egg yolks, cheese, flour, garlic and oregano to make a smooth batter. Season with freshly ground black pepper. 2 Heat enough oil in a deep pan for deep-frying. When hot enough the oil should be 160-180 C (325-350 F); a piece of bread dropped in the oil will sizzle and become golden brown in 30 seconds. Dip the squid rings and tentacles into the batter, one at a time and put into the oil. 3 Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately, sprinkled with salt.
