Fried Okra

Ingredients

2 lbs Okra (fresh or frozen) cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/8 cup buttermilk
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 cups vegetable oil to fry with

Directions

Drizzle buttermilk over okra. Season okra with seasoning salt and black pepper. Mix with hands to thoroughly coat okra. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over okra, mix with hands to evenly coat. Mix in yellow (or white) cornmeal.

Make sure the okra aren’t sticking together. Heat oil in a deep fryer/pot.

Carefully drop okra into the oil.

Fry for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until okra are golden brown.

Remove okra from the deep fryer with a slotted spoon. Place okra on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.

Allow to cool. Add salt to taste.
