List of Ingredients
Southern Fried Okra
1 pound fresh okra, cut into 1/2" pieces or 1 16 ounce package frozen cut okra
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup bacon drippings, or shorteningRecipe
If using fresh okra, wash the okra, but do not dry; if using frozen, no need to wash. Place the okra in a large Ziploc bag and cover with the buttermilk. Mix it around in the bag so that it coats all of the okra pieces. Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper; add to the okra in the bag, seal it up, and shake until each piece of okra is well coated.
Heat the bacon drippings in a skillet; add the okra and fry on medium heat until crisp and well-browned on all sides. Serve immediately.
