Southern Fried Okra Recipe

Southern Fried Okra

From saltymike 16 years ago

Another of my favorite dishes (at my weight, they are all my favorite!) from the old south cookin'....FRIED OKRA

Wash and slice okra; pat dry with paper towels.
Combine eggs and buttermilk; add okra, and let stand for 15 minutes.
Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Drain okra, small portions at a time, using a slotted spoon.
Dredge okra, small portions at a time, in flour mixture.
Pour oil to depth of 2 to 3-inches in a Dutch oven or deep-fat fryer and heat to 375.
Fry okra until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

HELLO...
Thanks for this recipe for fried okra!
It sounds like what my Mother use to make,
using buttermilk in the batter...
I'm a Southern Gal, at heart, transplanted
to California!

Love fried okrie!!!!!! Used to grow in my garden in Alabama. It ate me up picking and cutting up. Then had to get the cornmeal and scrub hands, arms and face with it to quit the stinging!!!!!!! Now just buy frozen for my gumbo.

Southerners eat Dinner at mid-day. We have Supper in the evening! Lunch is something that gets stuffed in a bag or in a "Lunch Box" for those times when ya can't get to the table for Dinner.....
