Introduction

Spanish fried squid in a golden batter is a classic Sunday pintxo called rabas. The trick is to make the batter the day before and not to overcook the squid or it will become rubbery. Rabas are best served with a good squeeze of lemon and a cold beer.

Method

Pre-heat your deep fryer to 180°C.
Combine the flour, cornflour, baking powder and turmeric in a large bowl, season with salt, then spoon 1 tbsp onto a plate and set aside. Gradually pour the beer into the bowl, stirring with a whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Leave to rest for 30 mins while you prepare the squid.
To fry the squid, roll the squid in the flour mix and dip in the batter, allow the excess to drip back into the bowl and drop directly into the deep fryer. Fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain onto some kitchen paper.
Season with salt and serve immediately with some lemon wedges and that beer that I mentioned earlier on…
