Today I offer you squid fritters. They can be served as an appetizer or as a dish, accompanied by your favorite sauce or a mix of sauces. The batter is light, puffs up well during cooking, and is crispy afterward.

Add cold sparkling water and mix until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture.

3

Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5
