I wanted to do something like a candy necklace without the candy. I can’t pinpoint why I thought this was a good idea, but here it is - Fried Calamari Necklace.
What you’ll need (oh and twine):
Beer Batter: (original recipe from here: http://www.recipelink.com/cookbooks/2000/0385485387_3.html I used a half cup more flour and didn’t add any extras)
12oz Bottle of Beer
1 ½ cups of flour
1 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp of salt
½ tsp of Hungarian Paprika
Pepper to taste
Should be like a pancake batter consistency
Fry them up at medium high heat (around 400). Don’t let them get too bunched up. They’ll only need to be in the oil for about a minute each. Also, you can crisp them further in the oven when you’re done frying (around 500 for 2-3 minutes).
String them around a necklace and get some cocktail sauce. I was simultaneously thinking “oh the humanity” and “that’ll do pig” while I was eating these. I think that’s a success in this arena. Now go my friends, fry things to put on a necklace, just don’t wear it too closely to your skin!
