Calamari


Alton's Tempura Batter: 
5 ounces unbleached cake flour
5 ounces white rice flour
1 large egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups cold seltzer water
1/2 cup vodka

Whisk together the flours.  In another bowl whisk together the eggs, seltzer and vodka.  Combine the 2 and whisk for 10-15 seconds, then stop.

Using tongs dip the pieces of squid in the batter one at a time and add to oil at 375 degrees.  Fry in batches of 6-8 pieces, making sure the oil stays above 375.  Remove when just turning golden brown.
