6 squid, cleaned and bodies cut into rings
2/3 cup single cream
3 egg yolk
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Oil for deep frying
Salt
Pepper
Pour the cream into a large bowl and set in the egg yolks, cheese, flour, garlic and oregano to make a smooth batter. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Heat oil in a deep fryer. When hot enough the oil should be 160-180°C (325-350°F); a piece of bread dropped in the oil will sizzle and become golden brown in 30 seconds. Dip the squid rings and tentacles into the batter, one at a time and put into the oil.
Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately, sprinkled with salt.
