The fried squid rings in the dough are considered one of the favorite men's beer snacks. Only if you decide to have a beer party, get ready for the fact that squid is still not enough for everyone. They turn out so tasty that they leave the table before the moment when the beer has time to run out.

Instruction manual
1
Clean squid carcasses from the film covering them, remove the inner ridge, cut off the tentacles, thoroughly rinse the resulting tubes, dry them with a towel, cut into rings. Fold the resulting rings on a napkin so that the last remaining moisture drains from them.
2
Separate the yolks from the proteins, put the proteins in the refrigerator to cool them a little. In a separate bowl, mix the yolks with beer, flour and salt into a thick dough. Instead of beer, you can take any other liquid - milk, water and even brine.
Stir the dough until it turns into a homogeneous mass.
3
Remove the squirrels from the refrigerator, whisk with a mixer at high speeds until a stable foam. Using gentle movements, mix the protein foam into the existing dough.
4
Take the squid rings one at a time, dip them in batter and dip in boiling oil for 1-2 minutes. It is enough to wait until the batter grabs around the squid, and you can immediately remove it from the oil. Dry the finished rings on a napkin to remove excess fat from them.
Useful advice
If you still have an extra batter, fry onion rings in it. They will be a great addition to squid.
