These fried okra fritters are delicious! Easy to make and a wonderful way to eat okra. Great summer food!
Ingredients
2 cups okra cut in round pieces (Can use fresh or frozen)
1 1/4 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup onion finely chopped
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Salt & Pepper (Optional)
1 cup oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl with a spoon mix together all ingredients except okra and oil. Fold in the okra. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Drop by spoonfuls into the hot oil. (I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for each fritter). Fry on one side about 2 minutes or until good and crusty, turn and fry the other side. Drain on paper towels. Slather with butter and enjoy
